Have an ant infestation? Want to find a way to get rid of ants without putting your family, particularly young children and pets who like to put everything in their mouths, at risk by exposing them to poisonous chemcials?
Try cornmeal. Ants are unable to digest cornmeal properly. Some people even claim it makes the ants explode - though I've never seen this happen, myself.
I've tried that and most stopped but we still have them. They certainly didn't explode. That would be awesome!
ReplyDeletehere's a very extensive article on other methods: http://www.thefrugallife.com/ants.html
ReplyDeleteWe use cinnamon. It masks their trail that they use to follow one another. If they're inside simple things like making sure all water is wiped up / food debris are picked up, helps too!
ReplyDeleteThat cornmeal trick, though, sounds like a good try next time!
Great job on the blog!!
