We have a box turtle and everytime we feed him he is having to fight off ants. They are everywhere. We are going to try the Baking Soda and the Coffee Grounds. I am very positive it will work. We have to feed him on the porch in the morning so he doesn’t have to fight off the ants. Thanks for the info. Karrie

Does anyone know if it makes a difference whether the coffee grounds need to be completely dry prior to application? I just applied today’s grounds that were still very moist from the press and realized that the expansion method might not work if the grounds are wet.

I haven’t used chili powder for ants, but mixing chili powder or cayenne pepper with birdseed discourages the tree rats (squirrels) from dining.

Borax placed on top or near a nest works wonders. The ants haul it down into the nest and it kills them. However, the best sure fire way to get rid of ants is to get ducks! Chicken like to eat ants too, but ducks will walk down an ant line eating every one they find.
