Wheat flour and dried rice (any kind) also work. Like corn meal, it expands in their stomach and explodes them, resulting in a death slightly less nasty than being boiled alive.
I was told an old school method is to lay a line of Borax powder around the edge of the floor to keep them out also.
Plus if you`re really bored there`s still the magnifying glass trick.
I tried that chalk line thing before. There's always one gang of ants....(the Jets, I think)....that aren't bothered by it. It only works til they lay down their own and crawl over the bodies.
I still rely on a good ant trap from Terro and even just the liquid Terro is effective. Just put a drop of the liquid on a piece of paper, place where the ants begin and their conga line will go through and take it back to the nest and it kills them all. It may take a couple days, but the ants stay in that line and dwindle to none. It works great!

Mr. Salty went out of business several years ago after several church group protests over the name "Mr. Salty" and it's connection to the character being a Seaman. They somehow managed to finigle some kind of sexual connotation to all of that and the company not only discontinued production, but pulled all unsold product off shelves world-wide. That is the most ridiculous travesty I've ever heard. Shame on those conservative trouble-makers! I loved those pretzels!!!
Vacation is over.
I always wondered what happened to Mr. Salty.
That's really sad.
Frying peppers (green, red, yellow, orange) with onions and a few really hot habaneros and the house smells so good !!!!
I can't do habaneros. I can't handle anything with a heat type spice. LOVE THE SMELL!!Frying peppers (green, red, yellow, orange) with onions and a few really hot habaneros and the house smells so good !!!!
