Kill Invading Ants

Cornmeal: Ants love cornmeal and will think you have provided them with a new food source. Little do they know that it will soon cause them a quick death.

Sprinkle cornmeal in any location that ants are a problem. They will quickly begin carrying the cornmeal back to their nest where they will eat it. Unfortunately for them, they are not able to digest it. Instead the cornmeal will swell and cause them to die.

Cream of Wheat: This is another tasty treat that ants will quickly carry home and begin to devour. Because they are unable to digest it, it will expand in their system and kill them.

Sprinkle dry Cream of Wheat in areas where ants are sure to find it.

Uncooked corn meal will keep ants away for about 2 weeks - or maybe slightly more - but no, it will not kill ants.
