Cornmeal For Ants

RE: Cornmeal For Ants Post By Victoria (Guest Post) (11/02/2008) I tried cornmeal this summer and some ants died close to where they ate the cornmeal, but the problem continued until I finally found an affordable exterminator.

Also to keep ants out of the cat food, I placed a small bowl of food inside a larger bowl of water to create a kind of "moat". I guess ants don't like water and kitty's food remained ant-free.

I do not like to use chemicals because of the tortoise and cat. I would have to check if cornmeal was OK for the tortoise.

They eat it, take it "home" and can't digest it, so it kills them. It may take a week or so (especially if it rains) but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed! By Kim from Kansas Feedback: RE: Cornmeal For Ants Great idea. My problem is that they are crawling in my kitchen and bathroom. I've washed dishes, and felt something crawling on my foot and realized it was an ant. They are bothersome, annoying and they bite- and the buggers are small at that. How can I spread the cornmeal inside the home without making a mess? Thank you.

A small lid on you kitchen window sill might help if they are coming in that way. (09/02/2007) By MartyD Report Spam or Abuse
