From my money-saving ezine: Every year we experience distress when we find ants building mounds and entering our house in the spring time. We are against the chemicals and traps, as we have a mischievous toddler, and don't have a lot of money for the 'bug man' to treat our home and property. My mom suggested an old trick she used in the past - Instant Grits! Just open the packet and sprinkle dry on the mounds in your yard or in the area of your home where you maybe finding them. Once the ants eat the grits, it kills them! We are now ant free and it only cost a few dollars for the box of instant grits instead of the nearly $300 the bug man wanted to charge us!
