Environmentally Safe Way to Remove Anthills From Lawn

RE: Environmentally Safe Way to Remove Anthills From Lawn By Becke (Guest Post) Sprinkle on some of the cheapest ground cinnamon you can find. (Like what you use in the recipe for cinnamon toast.) This is especially good for ants on okra, squash, and other "rough" leafed plants. Ants disappear from lawn, garden, around stepping stones, etc. Works well in East Texas, where we have lots of fire ants.

Plant marigolds around the garden to keep other crawly things out, too.

Very hard to find though. Just sprinkle them (dry) on and around the mounds and they either move or burst - not sure which!

The ants will take it to the queen and she will eat it and die. Any ants who eat it will die, too.

I have also used soapy water. Neither is foolproof, and may require repeat treatment; but both are safe (well, as long as you don't spill the water on yourself, I suppose)!
