It may sound cruel, but if you have an ant problem, you've tried everything, all the lotions and potions yet you still have piles popping up between the cracks in your path and concrete daily? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Put small piles of polenta where you see ants and they'll gobble it up, they'll return 'home' and won’t be able to digest it. Your ant problem and the ants will soon be dead.
