Thanks for these garden tips. I will deffinetly try some of these. I might be stating the obvious but I’ll add it anyway. It my not be a sure thing but it’s worth a try: for indoor ants, if you remove what they are attracted to they will just go away with out having to kill any of them. For example: if they are eating the bread in your bread box, put the bread in your fridge. Put food in air tight containers and clean the crumbs out of cabinets and off counter tops and floors. put garbage in an air tight can. With in a few hours, they all go back to where they came from. If they are comming in to use your sink on a hot day though, this could be harder. Plugging up the hole they are coming in through only sometimes works.

Back again! Seems to me that baking soda wins hands down and it’s also probably the least expensive way to go.

I’d also like to try baby powder, black pepper and/or chili powder. Anyone have experiences with any of those and if so, what was the result? Thanks!

Hi! I’m new to this forum & have been reviewing your readers’ comments on the best way/s to kill ants organically. I’m going to read further, as we have a growing ant problem in out garden, too, but I want to make a comment on one posting…

Papa Ray said “ “Kill them all and let God sort it out!! Well, actually it is impossible to do that, just like it would be impossible to kill all the people on this planet that want to kill westerners. Yes, I’m talking about Islamic extremists. The other Muslims just want to take over using our laws and laws that they want to be passed to enable them to do it sooner.

Then of course we could treat ants like some humans in the past have treated sects of people. Lets just gas them or starve them to death.” ”

As far as I’m concerned, whether it was meant as a joke – or, heaven forbid, not – it had nothing whatsoever to do with this forum and everything to do with hate-mongering. I guess there’s always one in every crowd. Papa Ray: get over your west Texass self!

p.s. I’m of the opinion that every race, religion or group will always have a small majority of hate-mongers (e.g., Papa Ray); however, the greater majority are for peace, dialogue and understanding. Get it now?
