NCDR Green solution worked!

I am so excited, I just couldn't wait till Thursday. I finally tried a green solution that worked even better than normal solutions. Wednesday morning I woke up to find sugar ants all over our kitchen sink. Not knowing what else to do, I sprayed regular indoor ant spray. Thursday morning they were back with a vengeance. This time we recaulked the top of the counter and under the window, plus we sprayed again. No help, and this time they started spreading to other areas of the kitchen. Finally Friday I looked up natural solutions and found a recipe using sugar, water, and Borax. I spread this paste on index cards and placed them in the path of the ants. By this morning, the ants are all gone. Woohoo! (I know...big fat geek.)

I loved that I had all of that stuff at my house already and didn't have to buy anything.

Part of the genius of that recipe is it's not supposed to kill them on contact, t

Cinnamon is also really great for deterring ants.

They also sell something at Home Depot called Eco Smart. It's a plant based line of ant killer, bug spray, insect repellent, etc. made with Rosemary oil, peppermint oil, etc. unless they
