I HAVE A 52 ACRE FARM IN TEXAS AND A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE GRANDKIDS COME I LOOK FOR THE ANT PILES AND SPRINKLE A GOOD HELPING OF INSTANT GRITS AROUND THE MOUND. BOOM THEY DIE AND THE LAND IS SAFE FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY. HOPE THIS HINT HELPS OTHERS.
Nice one! Grits kills ants. I am always looking for organic tips to get rid of pests. I will add this to the list. Thanking you kindly for your comment to my article.
Here in Canada we can't buy grits (to my knowledge). We use corn flour, which is basically the same thing.
The ants eat it. It swells up inside them and they burst. ( at least that's what I heard )
