Ant Formula

Al Carrell: Some of you viewers have asked me if there's a non-poisonous way to attack the ants that are attacking your kitchen. Well, if you're talking about the sugar ants I've got a way for you here and I'll show you. We call these ant bombs:

  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 3 TBSP sugar
  • 3 TBSP yeast powder
  • Mix the ingredients.
  • Take a brush and brush the mixture on little pieces of cardboard.
  • Place the cardboard where you know the ants will find it.

They're gonna come up here and they're gonna feast on it, and then they're gonna die a slow agonizing death when their stomach starts to swell up because of the yeast powder. Now, we had planned to show you this because I tried it out on some ants out on the deck, and we can't find them. They're all gone. So, does it work? It certainly does.
