Ants

Corn grits has some control on fire ants. Use the regular or quick grits, not the instant grits. The quick grits work much better than the orange oil which has the tendency to kill grass. The grits kill all of the ants within 1 to 2 days while the orange oil may not. But, the ants may come back as they will continue to hatch. In that situation, just apply more grits.

Stink bugs
