I was searching for info on cut worms and how to deal with them. Found a neat solution at; gardentoad.com
They suggested feeding them corn meal. They love it, eat it, can't digest it, and it kills them. Now where's my corn meal Wink

I tried cornmeal for Ants last year. It took a while, but the nest finally disappeared. This spring, a new one popped up about 5 feet away Rolling Eyes
I'm wondering what else cornmeal kills?

Netty-I know that if you feed enough corn whether it's in meal form or not to any animal it will kill it. Corn is really not good for us or animals. Shocked

Wow. I need to try this cornmeal thing...
I got a small ant hill right by one of the paths, and there's sedum all over and it's all lifted... Can't do the hot water method.
