Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Quick grits for ants. To kill ants: Buy quick grits and sprinkle them in the yard. If the ants are inside, put some in a pile. The ants will find them and carry them back to their nest. The Queen and all the other ants will eat them and as the quick grits draw moisture from the ant the grits expand and explode the ant. This is natural and works with many ants (not all). We did it here in an office in Clearwater. There were two or three different trails of ants coming to this one pile of instant (quick) GRITS on a desk. Two or three days later we couldn’t find an ant anywhere. In Marietta, Georgia, there were many fire ants on the school playground by the swings. We sprinkled the quick grits and they were all gone in a day or two.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I had to laugh. You mean the grits we eat? I never heard of quick grits. You get this in the grocery store?. Sorry for my ignorance but I am getting desperate. Thank you for the info also. Cindy, I am thanking you also. Someone mentioned Splenda near ant holes and I did try that and it seemed to work, but I am concerned about the 4 wild cats that come to eat. I don't want the Splenda near their food or water and this is where the ants congregate.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'll let you know how it works, we moved to a house on 15 acres of wooded land, and I could most likely hold a science club with all the bugs here, the house had been rented out to the local college kids, a few who had been raising spiders of all types, when they moved, they let them all loose. We are finding spiders that we don't even know what kind they are and killing them as we go along.
