Might be an old wives' tale, but it seems to work for us. Our area is incredibly sandy - 18+ inches of black top soil on at least 12 feet of sand, and the ants love it - they come into the house every few months through floor slab cracks in hidden areas. We put corn meal out and they do indeed disappear in a few days. The story is that ants eat corn meal but can't digest it, and eventually die from lack of nutrition. Seems to work for us, though it's not all that fast and mainly kills the ones who eat it - don't know how much they carry back to the nest before they die. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.96 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/mharc@autox.team.net |
