Ant Control?

[RICHARD]

I heard this on FOX NEWS today....A doc does a Sunday tip of the week.
He said if you sprinkle corn meal on/around them they will take it back to the nest and try to eat it. They cannot digest it and starve to death!

OK PTers, time to test this theory out?

I bought the ant buttons...I forget what they are really called but that is what I call them. 8 little white button type things with holes all around the sides. The ants eat whatever is in them and take it back to their nest and die. I only had them out for one day when the ants were gone. Woo hoo!

If they come back I will try the cornmeal.

I'm game. Those tiny little ants came out early this year. I can't put any dry cat food out in the patio room because the ants swarm all over it immediately. How in the world do they smell it? The poor Fur Posse has to go all the way to the basement to munch.

This happened to me just once that ants got in the cat's food bowl. It was a bit comical because the cat sat there staring at her food moving on its own!

Sounds interesting but I'd rather just put down the ant killer! Muahahahaha

Well you know now that I think about it the Androd Ant Killer stuff does look just like Corn Meal.. Make sense.. I am sure corn meal is much cheaper..
