We have treated our yard for ants twice and it is not working!!!

Question

What have you used that has worked? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Diatomaceous earth....insecticidal or food grade. DO NOT use pool grade. You can find this at farm supply stores, or online including Ebay. This scratches their exoskeleton when they come in contact with it, causing them to dehydrate and die. It is completely non-toxic and safe for humans and animals. Sprinkle it where you have problems and even around your house perimeter to keep bugs out. This stuff works great! Better than chemicals! You will only need to retreat after it rains....if the problem is continuous

Answer 2

corn meal--pour some around where they can get it. They eat it but cant digest it--

I use the finely ground MASA flour for tacos--works like a charm. Give it about 5 days or so and you wont see them around anymore.

Let the little buggers eat it up and take it back to the nest.
