*** Quoting Bob Ackley from a message to Bj”rn Forsstr”m ***

BA> Note that his recipes use ordinary household items and are *much* less
BA> to make that comparable fertilizers and insecticides that are sold in
BA> stores and garden
BA> centers.  And in most cases are just as good.

Here's one that is organic and works *better*.  If you have a problem with
¨ants, especially fire-ants, on a dry day sprinkle a handful of dry grits
on the ¨hill or along the path to where they are bothering you.  They will
eat the ¨grits which then swell in their tummies and being the carapace
gives no ¨expansion room, well, yup.  Dead ants.

Unlike some other treatments, this one doesnt seem to bother anything but
ants ¨(birds for example are totally safe though they may eat some of it up
before ¨the ants do).
