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...
Jean ************** 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.
