Proportion
A few people have asked about this...
No "scientific" proportion....
I got the info from a book call "BAKING SODA Over 500 Fabulous, Fun and
Frugal uses... by Vicky Lansky.
She writes..."Eliminate outdoor ants in their dirt mounds by first
sprinkling baking soda on the mound when it is damp. After a half hour, or
so, pour a small amount of vinegar on the ant hill. The ants will ingest
the combination and their body enzymes do the rest.
When I did it, I used about a !/4 box for about a 3 x 5 area of an herb
bed. I used red wine vinegar and I sprinkled it around...maybe a cup. I
also went an hour or more before I put the vinegar out because I got
distracted! It worked.
Hope that helps!
