For carpenter ants, I put down liquid ant bait from
www.gardensalive.com in bottle caps, or tupperware lids. they bellied
up to the bar, drank heartily, and didn't come back. This was maybe
five or more years ago. the Orkin guy wanted $175 per treatment, and
no guarantees.

Orkin closed, and the place is now a daycare. I'm not sure I'd want to
house kids in a building that used to have pesticides.

Can someone give me the short answer on using them as insecticides?

I tried the grits thing, and they either ate it or ignored it. The
ants and
hills are still there.
