You cannot use larger grain sugar for this. Mix the two powders together and place small amounts against the walls or other areas where you would not normally walk but where you would see the ants. A Big Thank You The Horse Committee of the Hay Show Society would like to thank all the volunteers who gave their time so freely & worked tirelessly over the two days of the show. Your commitment is much appreciated and without your generous support we would not be able to run such a successful equestrian section of the Hay Show. To our wonderful sponsors, we thank you for your generosity; you enable us to offer fantastic prize money which attracts competitors. The ants will be attracted to the sugar and will eat some of it and collect more to take home to feed others, so all of them will get their share. Thank you. John & Jacqui Williams, Marg Harvey & Jenny Sheaffe The sugar and bi-carb soda powders are similar in size and, once mixed together, the ants cannot separate the two items, so, as they eat the sugar, they will also ingest the baking soda, which they would otherwise never touch. This is the reason for using icing sugar. Once the ants eat the bi-carb soda, it will react with the formic acid in their stomachs and cause gas. The bodies of ants, unlike humans, cannot eliminate gas so it will build up inside them and cause them to literally explode. 30
