Ant prevention

[livinthelife]

I know the state parks we frequent in Arizona get real testy if you put anything on the ground (like coffee grounds) that shouldn't be there naturally. Spray poison is invisible and they can't see it, so I stick with that.

So just because "they can't see it" it's OK to put something on the ground that isn't there naturally?

This past week I saw a lady sprinkling the sink cleanser Comet around the outside of their unit. she said it worked for them. I suspect Comet may have borax in it? It is a gritty kind of substance.

Down here we have fire ant problems and now kind of a new pest they refer to as crazy ants. They don't like eachother. The only good thing to say about the ants is they keep the scorpions in check.

Yes, people have reported using Comet. But, again, many campgrounds do not allow such things to be placed on the ground.
