How About Cornmeal To Get Rid Of Ants???

While we are on trivia and tips, how about this one? Ever find those pesky trails of ants in your kitchen and find that it is almost impossible to get rid of them? You don't know where they came from, but somehow they have invaded and no matter what you do, you can't get them to stop returning???

If you put small piles of cornmeal on their path, they will ingest it and go home. Problem is that they can't digest it, so they will die off - this takes about a week, so don't give up! It is one way to get rid of the pests without having to use poison in your home!!!! I am all about that!

What a great tip! I had no idea and it must be great for your region of the country where you have many ant issues.

Sabrina - When I find a trail in the kitchen I try to get rid of it and this will make it a lot easier!!!!

Hi Barbara Jo, thanks for the tip. Fighting ants around here is a full time job.

Bill & Barbara Jo --- this really works? does it work on the fire ants out side too? they drive me nuts and I hate using the chemicals on them, but I've tried hot water and it DOESN"T work.....?

Barbara - It can indeed be a constant fight!

Eva- I don't think it will work on fire ants - they are so much harder to get rid of!!!! Let me know if you try it!!!!

Great idea, thanks for sharing. I have never heard of this before. I'm like you in that I don't like to use chemicals.

Teresa - It works well and is so safe!
