Ok... canning salt.... I can get that and the chalk. I have done the flour thing to keep some things away from garden... works well. This morning I had two nickel size areas on top of the stove that were those crazy ants just runnin' around in circles..... there was no trail..... none coming...none going....they were just there like they dropped down from a space ship!!! Would just be my luck that these ants are from outer space.....Alien Ants from Planet X..... thanks for the tips, Carol. paulette in sw fla usa.... with one eyeball on TS Gustav.....
