Your reporter was cleaning out a closet and ran across an interesting item from a magazine. Someone wrote in with an ant problem and the answer was to sprinkle a small mound of Cream of Wheat on the anthill. Each ant will carry away grit, eat it, and drink water; the grit then expands, causing death by bloating. Have to try that one! If you can’t find the anthill, try dusting around with baking soda.
