  • Hi Fog,

    I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.


    I did some research, since we know what works for one person doesn't always work for another. I found this site and it's pretty informative. I know some tips you may not be able to use but there are some good ones also that will hopefully help.

    I have an ant problem in my garden and read yesterday while researching that you can make a paste of borax, water, and sugar. The ants will consume it and bring it back to the queen, wiping out the whole colony. Sounds morbid :)

    Hi there. Cindy here. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water. Pour into a spray bottle and spray the ants with it. Effective and inexpensive. Win - Win.
