fleas and ticks OTspread some pure baking soda around where the ants travel 
(not on the hills or mounds) and then spray some apple cider vinegar on it.  
The workers will take this to the queen. When she eats it, it reacts with the 
water and acid in her system.  She explodes and the colony dies........I got 
rid of 1/2 acre of fire ants this way and even treated the state park across 
the road.  They never came back...

    their ant bed is our roof...they have invaded under the shingles...we live 
in the woods and everyone around here is having more ants then they have ever 
seen...even in town.
     
    can we say screwed up environment anyone?
     
    ps...but we did try the grits hoping they would carry it back to the 
colony.  they take everything we offer and thrive...
     
    we even tried putting sugar under the house so they will eat there instead 
of our kitchen...it has helped a little...
     
    h202 has been the most effective for repelling them from the counters...not 
a total fix but has helped...dunno why tho.
