Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi Hope this isn't too terribly off-topic but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good herbal or non-toxic way to get rid of small sugar ants? With the advent of the hot weather they are appearing on my kitchen counters. They are very small. I have tried to keep the counters extra clean but they keep coming back! Help!
