- I had ants in potted plants (outside) when I lived in Florida,
- and my neighbor told me to sprinkle grits around them. It
- seemed to work. I think that the grits expand and the ants
- explode (or something similarly disgusting). I've also
- heard red pepper works, but it didn't with my ants (at least
- not noticeably so).
