What if it Snows?

I have a ####ing severe ant problem. You can't sit outside without them eating you alive! Anyone got any tip or tricks on getting rid of them? I'm not worried about killing grass in the process because my yard is ugly anyway since it's all sugar sand here and you can't grow a nice yard.

 

Boric acid (roach powder)and sugar/bacon grease.

 

She could have a Five Guys habit instead . . .

 

Ughhhh that place lol.

 

Diesel... Wait 10 mins then add a match.

 

Actually not a bad idea. The only thing I have on hand is VP 110 octane...I imagine that would work and it will smell better.

 

Propane torch on a good size hill is loads of fun too.

 

Simple green. It works real well. Areas like around the foundation and decks or patios spray it down at full strength at first. Get a good wet, then let it dry. After that, you can mix it 50/50 with water and spray the same area every day for a week. It will kill ants on contact, then keeps them away for a long time. Plus it’s biodegradable, so won’t damage soil.

Lemongrass oil is also a good bug repellent.

Mix 2 cups each of water and vinegar, heat to about 180 degrees, don’t boil. Add a shot of liquid dish soap and about 3/4 ounce of lemongrass oil. Stir to mix, don’t make suds. Cool off to room temp and spray area you want to protect.

 

You always have the good mixes. The one you have me for the wasps worked well. I haven't seen any coming or going from under the house. Thank you for that.
