No that's an old wive's tale and home remedy-they won't walk on an area sprayed with a salt solution, but that doesn't kill them. Windex, most household cleaners, bleach spray, etc basically anything that smells will do the same thing. Ants communicate by smells and will avoid an area that stinks but once smell is gone they will be back and that does nothing to address the nest itself. You are only seeing the workers-a small percentage of the colony.
Ewww. No Why Would They??
With salt. Salt always overpowers sugar.
They'll go over anything sweet. If you wan't to get rid of them, pour some honey on the ground and then just go inside watch tv or whatever, and when you come back there will be lots of ants. Now all you need to do is take the hose.. and "Bye Bye Ants"
Both (table) salt and sugar are soluble in water.
Salt has like organisms that melts faster than sugar where as sugar has those organism but not as much
A common ratio for a cinnamon and salt water mix to deter ants is about 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of salt mixed with 2 cups of water. Stir well to dissolve the salt and cinnamon before applying it to areas where ants are present. This mixture can help repel ants, as they dislike the strong scent of cinnamon and the salt can disrupt their trails.
I would think it would dissolve faster in fresh water, as the fresh water doesn't have anything dissolved in it yet whereas the salt water has dissolved salts and so less room for the sugar molecules. A. yes; sugar does dissolve faster than salt does, in fresh water.
Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.
The variable for both sugar and salt is temperature: more sugar or salt will dissolve in water at a higher temperature. The amount of water is also a factor, since more water will be able to dissolve more sugar or salt.
To change sugar to salt, simply dissolve the sugar in water, then add a pinch of salt to the solution and stir until dissolved. This will change the composition to more closely resemble salt. Alternatively, you can mix sugar and salt together in a 1:1 ratio to create a salt-like mixture.
