How do you remove ants from a sandbox without pesticides that might harm children?

Pour white vinegar on the sand. A gallon cost about $3. The vinegar will get rid of the ants and not hurt the sand or children.

Hi Jim,

You can kill ants by applying hot boiling water directly to them, or by mixing 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 tablespoon baking soda, and 2 tablespoon powdered soap in a 1 gallon water. Shake the mixture well and apply directly into the ants population.

You can spray the ants with straight vinegar. I have used vinegar on ants and it works pretty good. Also I just read recently that you can sprinkle corn meal or cream of wheat in the area which the ants eat and it makes their stomach expand and then they die.

go to your home improvement store and get the granulated ant killer and gently sprinkle it on the ant hill and the ant trail without disturbing the ants. usually kills the ants and the queen in 24 hrs.

I order these little packets from fastpestcontrol.com and sprinkle 1 packet on the ant hill and the trails. ants are gone by morning.

the ants take the bait into the colony/nest whick kills the queen and then the rest of the ants die too. works great
