We've got lots of garden ants this year. They've made a deal with the aphids and together are demolising my corn and squash. grr They are also starting to send searchers into my kitchen again and heaven knows how much I hate to clean. ;) A few years ago we made "roach balls" with shortening, flour, sugar and boric acid (and a few more ingrediants when I ran out! I think I even threw in flax!). It worked well for several years but it is time to redo it as we've been seeing roaches again. Last year boric acid mixed in yogurt did the trick but this year they seem impervious. Maybe they're smarter than I thought. I'll have to try something not sweet in case they are the greasy kind of ants, like you mentioned. Thanks! ~Tara Ugg. We’ve got lots of garden ants this year.
