OT- ant problem

Anonymous-0 · May 30, 2011

I thought my grass was slow coming in this year and wondered what the problem was. I looked and the yard is absolutely infested with ants- they are killing the grass. Anybody have a suggestion?

I'd be glad if my wouldn't grow! Lol, go to ur local hardware store and look at all the bottles of poisons that you can spread all around your property. They have something for every bug, weed, ect!

Take half Borax and half icing sugar,mix well and place around the yard where the ants can get at it. They take it back to the anthill where it is eaten,the borax causes their stomachs to bloat up and it kills them,may take a few days but its cheap and it works.

Lice powder for horses will kill them. It works great

Michael is correct in using Borax. That is the main active ingredient in the best ant killers.

Used to be 70% Chlordane mixed in a spray worked great, now the best thing to do is find their nests and attack those. In Mexico we had probably ten different kinds of ants in and around our house and some we just never could get completely rid of. Some liked sweet things, others salty things, and some just plants. Taro worked with some, and insecticide for the rest. For a yard, the best thing you can do is observe where they are going, find their nests and nuke with insecticde if they won't take borax/sugar or Taro.

If they are fire ants, there are special insecticides, but you will never get rid of all of them.

Good luck!
