What is a pesticide that is good for killing ants but safe to use around children??
Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her. If your kids get into it, no big deal! It’s something you eat anyway!
