How do you get rid of ants forever?
Question:I have (literally) thousands of ant hills around my property. I need something that will get rid of them without harming my dog.
Answers:
CORN MEAL. If you put a little mound of it by the ant hills, they carry it into the holes and eat it and feed it to the queen. Since they can't digest it, it kills them in thier nest. Kills the queen too. Works great and is pet friendly, non toxic. It works wherever you see a trail of ants. They will always carry it back to the nest to eat it.
I boil water and pour it down the ant hill. End of ants.
And uncles ;o)
borax
