Ants can be killed quite effectively with food grade DE. If you know where they are coming in, wipe the trail with comet or something to remove the scent.-Jenn

I use borax (boric acid) sprinkled pretty much wherever they tend to

congregate. However, it should not be used where pets might lick it

up; in cracks, along the baseboards, etc is good. Also, washing

cabinets, counters, etc. with vinegar helps keep them away.

To get rid of ants, use diatamatious (sp?) earth.

Spread on them or on their trail. That usually works

good but there is another option. Find their hill and

put out a pile (aprox 1/8 to 1/4 cup) of grits next to

or a round the hill OR if you cant find their hill,

spread some grits along their trail, wait for 3-4 days

and then water the area with a sprinkler for about 10

minutes. The grain eaten by the ants will swell

internally when they get water and kill them.
