So what is you're "favorite malt beverage"? Maybe Old English?
Good article, thanks!
Google this: Laboratory Assay of Effect of Instant Grits and Malt-O-Meal
for Imported Fire Ant Control
Bastiaan M. Drees, Professor and Extension Entomologist
Ineffective. The theory is that the fire ants eat the dry corn grits, drink some water, and then die as the corn grits expand inside them. The image of greedy little ants exploding like popcorn inside their mounds is very compelling. The problem is that fire ant workers only drink liquids; they are incapable of ingesting solids. Fire ant larvae will eat solid food, but they chew it up and mix it with saliva just like we do before they swallow it.
Grits simply don't work, so any perceived effects are due to mound disturbance and colony movement.
Don't you think you're missing the point of the story an itty-bitty-bit?
I use Old English as a chaser for my GI-Gin and Torpedo Juice!
