If you’re dealing with an anthill causing you trouble, here’s a quirky solution: feed the ants grits! Yes, you read that right—grits, the humble breakfast food. Here’s how it works:
Sprinkle dry grits around the anthill.
The ants will consume the grits.
They’ll then drink water, causing the grits to swell up inside them.
The result? Ants that swell up and explode.
You might start seeing results in as little as 24 hours, and entire anthills can vanish within a few days. Trust me; you really can kill ants with grits! 🐜🍽️1.
Side note - Our African Grey loves grits. So far she hasn't exploded; thankfully.
That's a myth, actually. About killing ants with grits, I mean - I'm perfectly happy to take you at your word that your parrot hasn't exploded.
