I have heard of an "Old Way" to rid yourself of pesty ants with no harm to yourself, animals or the environment. It is called POPCORN ANTS. You sprinkle Corn Meal around where you see the ants and they will pick it up, take it down inside the hive, and everyone consumes it. When they consume water, it expands in their stomachs and POP goes the ant. :~o I apologized to all those Ant Lovers out there.
