Interesting read. Now I know the grits doesn't work on carpenter ants, my lizards eat the heck out of them. The grits no good for fire ants either, but the small black/brown ones, it works on them.
I been using grits for years and have good success as I don't use chems around the food plants.
Now if I get some carpenter ants built up colonies and I want a quick kill, I'll use a can of Eliminator on flowering plants. It's 1.88 at Walmart and kills ants and roaches in an instant. Using the Elimator, I can just do spot killing when and where needed without poisoning my beneficials.
