Red Ant Killer

Did you ever hear OF household
that didn't have an ant remedy?
How many Of these same house
holds are not looking for remedy
that will really work? L. Haseman
Of the Missouri Agricultural Exper.
iment Station has been giving spec
ial attention to the little red ant
that usually causes more trouble
than any other and has been able
to kill it with the syrup made from
half pound of sugar and forlieth
of an ounce OF sodium arsenite The
syrup should be made in a double
boiler because if it is scOrched the
ants will not eat it and the poison
must be carefully weighed by the
druggist and no more than this
must be added for two reasons. Cd
1t is deadly poison and will be
more likely to be dangerous to ami
mails or persons who get it by mis-
take if less diluted. (2) lfany more
of it is used, the ants detect the
taste and will not eat it Professor
Haseman says that the ant has a
very keen sense of taste and is
most contrary creature refusing to
eat many of the things usually used
in trying to get rid of Tim 10 fact
he finds that the little red nuisance
eats this arsenic syrup better if it is
put on sponges, rags, or blotting
paper SO it is seemingly harder to
get than if in an open dish. If the
soaked sponges or rags are put into
tin cans or glass jars closed up ex-
cept for a little crack as though put
away to avoid the ants they seem
to make special search for it and
pass by open dishes of it in favor
OF the closed vessel Professor Hase-
man recommends this poison espec-
tally for the little red ants and says
that the real way to get rid of any
kind of ants whose nests can be
found is to destroy the entire colony
with boiling water or by pouring on
carbon which will choke or suffocate
