How to get rid of ants

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it back to the nest, and die because they can't digest it. And they feed it to the queen and she dies and the next dies.

Here's another idea. When you see an ant hill sprinkle it with a good dose of talcum power. It drives ants crazy. And, like cornmeal, it's cheap and non-toxic.

And for those of us in Florida it really does a number on fire ants.
