Using cornmeal to kill ants, safe for torts?

[HollyH8]

Sorta surprised this would work. What does it do to the ants that cause them to die?

Supposably the ants can't digest the cornmeal which for a result they die. I've never tried this before but i'm hoping it works!

The problem is that nothing I researched for solutions was a sure thing. I asked local folks, friends and family, people on this board and other sites, etc. Uncooked grits was the most commonly suggested route. I was skeptical at first, but I think it may have actually worked. If this rain would ever stop, I'd like to see for sure.

Been using uncooked grits for nearly 30 years.
