My experience with the grits

Fire ant mounds have been found to have multiple queens, as many as eight. And grits swell when they get wet, where ever they are. The mound must have gotten clogged up and maybe one of the queens did die, we’ll never know, but the mound ended up splitting up into several smaller mounds. So instead of having one big mound where I knew where it was, I ended up with several small mounds that nobody knew where they were. We ended up getting bit up worse.

I make a little depression in the middle of the mound and pour boiling water that I have added some Dawn dish washing liquid to into the mound. The Dawn makes it soak into the ground faster. Sometimes I manage to get the queens, sometimes not, but it always knocks back the mound so that it isn’t so dangerous for a while.

As for the cinnamon and carbs thing, I have no idea, I just know it is something they recommend for diabetics. It’s supposed to sensitize the body to insulin or something like that, which can be an issue with cats.
