    What makes that little ant wanna lift that Cannabis plant? He's got High Hopes...

    The cord makes a followable physical barrier, plus it's possible they sense the electrical flow. I already have ants just residing on Babe's car cover. Can't wait to see how many I'll have if I string up a power cord for the battery tender.

    This works....they just kinda blow up inside:evilsmile: 50/50 mix of icing sugar and baking soda, then with a screen strainer (the one in the kitchen) sprinkle over the path they walk but I would suggest first to try and find where the colony itself lives, then disturb it and dump lots there to make sure you get the queen. The sweet icing sugar makes them eat it and the baking soda expands in there body and they die. Cheaper than ant killers and if you have pets it will not harm them.

    Look this up online(y)
