RE: Ants terrorize children

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Vasha,

How about mixing some quick rising yeast and a little bit of honey together.
Someone told me this works but I have never had the need to try it. Hope
this helps.

		I know we discussed this last fall, and there must be
archives, but I don't
		know how to get into them.  The raised beds at school are
happy homes to
		more than one ant colony - the biting kind of ant.  The kids
are anxious to
		get their lettuce and radishes in the ground, but the ants
have sent them
		running when they tried to prepare their squares.

		Went to Home Depot for a remedy, read all the labels, and I
felt poisened
		just from reading the back of the bags.  None of the stuff
is useable on
		crops.  I had hoped there would be a weekend remedy, or
something I could
		put down during spring holidays.  Is my only recourse to
stir up the mound
		and run, then wait until they relocate?  Or, how do I get to
the sq.ft.
		archives?
