Starting to get the garden ready, suppose to plant next week so at the outer edge of the garden was a very big ant pile that had been made over winter. I had heard one time that grits will kill ants and was curious as to if it would work, so I poked a few holes in the pile and the ants just came pouring out.
I went in the house and found a packet of instant grits and tore it open. There must have been a thousand ants on top of the pile when I tore it open and poured in on. I watched the ants slide down the grits and the worker ants carry little pieces down into the ant pile holes I had made. Went out this morning and no matter how much I poke the ant pile none come out. The ant’s are either dead or moved on to a higher-class neighborhood.
I hear that they take it in to hole and eat it. Grits expand and it kills them internally. I went to the garage and found some high profile ant killer I purchased last year. The cost of it was still on the bag, $7.67. I went inside and looked on the box of grits for a price. One dollar and thirteen cents for 10 bags of instant grits. I only used one bag.
I am feeling a little bad for the ants tonight as I know how it feels to be highly compacted.
Ya’ll have a good one you hear.
