Recipe - Safe Ant Killer

1 cup Molasses
2 pack Dry yeast
One half cup Sugar

Mix ingredients together to make a paste. With apaint brush, coat one side
of small cardboard squares, and place where ants have been seen. Replace
the squares when they get dry. Safe to use where there are small children.

I had noticed ants in only one place (near the cupboard under the sink) so
I only made half the recipe. I put the squares in the cupboard itself.
There were many ants stuck to the cardboard squares, but I was told that
the "yeast" was the real killer for them...I don't know, but after one
placement of the squares, I didn't have any more ants. I tried this because
I had those ingredients on hand and didn't have to run to the grocery for
something else. It's supposed to be safe for areas where there are
children.
