**** “feed them grits” ****

I grind dent corn and feed it to Cutter Ants and it works very well. Cutter ants farm and eat Fungus, corn is or has a natural fungicide and destroys their fungus farm.

Fire ants have a different diet.

Death by 1000 small cuts, eh? I got rid of a yellow jacket nest which moved under a paving stone in my front lawn about this time last year.

I wasn't willing to attack them head on for obvious reasons, but one cold morning just before frost, I bored a tunnel underneath the rock with a power drill and long auger. Then I diverted a roof drain pipe toward that tunnel. Between the rains of late fall and a cold winter, they were gone by spring thaw, except for a lot of corpses.
