I have used this as ant control squirt some dawn in a jug pour maybe 1/2 cup add 2 cup sugar then cold water an shake. Pour all the way around your house an near the ant infestation if you know where it is. Acts like his bug spray but the ants also carry the sugar back to nest where it kills them.

I lived in Northern MI an was having problems at the place I lived.
The whole yard was infested with ants not uncommon with all the sand.
Was told that trick an it worked great took about a week an 2 applications.

The bees and ants have been sparse of late, but I know they will be back.

Earlier this summer I changed the transmission fluid in my tractor then re-used fluid to paint my untreated cedar fence. I cleaned the bucket and brush with Dawn Dishwashing Liquid and they came out good as new. I use Dawn on the concrete to clean up oil/fluid spills in the garage.

I'll have to try it on the ants next year, our drought has evidently chased them away this year.

I am going to the store today (we don't have suger) and will be trying this. I know the soap and water poured on the mound works but it takes multiple aplications as the mound moves. The sugar could be the key I have been missing.
