- This is a brief tip about how to get rid of ants in your garden! I found that as I approached about 2+ feet of wood chips in my garden the ants went away because they were too busy breaking down the crazy amounts of wood chips and breaking down organic matter everywhere in my garden that they no longer cared about my garden itself! • How to Get Rid of Ants...

3 feet of wood chips. LOL Solution creates it's own problems
White ants to start with.
Ants also farm aphids. The aphids secrete a sweet sticky dew like stuff the ants love, so they herd them, protect them whilst the little buggers (aphids) are munching on your leaves.
Grits too. In the south, we eat grits for breakfast and then sprinkle it in the garden and on top of fire ant beds.
I’ve seen a lot of folks say it won’t work but I’m 45 and my gran did it, I do it....and damn if the ant hill isn’t gone in a matter of days.
Maybe it doesn’t kill them but they head out.
Grow lavenders and when you prune them in late summer, chop the pruning and use it as mulch. If the ants house on the ground, it might take a year or two until they decide to move their home elsewhere using the lavender mulch, but it works for my rose bed.
Grits does it too!
YAYYY , grits, lol thank you
How you use the grits
I call BS!
We watched them blow up lol
I'm from Alabama and that's exactly how we used to get rid of ant hills.
We have fireants in Louisiana; they won't eat food. I have had some success with epsom salts, and the plants love it.
I’ve sprinkled that and also grits around the mounds. Works great.
Be careful you may attract more problems -- little at a time.
Baking soda does the same thing and it's waaay cheaper. You just sprinkle it around your plant's base. No more ants! 😊⚘
Just Me 👀 trying this today bcuz they're getting out of control in my little 1st yr garden 😢😭
@ThatLadyDray did it work?
Does baking soda harm the soil?
@@ThatLadyDray Did it work?
Baking soda will lower ph in soil also which can cause issues with some vegetables.
Jake Mace giving me gardening advice? Yeah!!! I've been doing Qigong with him for months now. Never knew about the gardening...
Jake's way of conscence suit the personality of long life human beings who knows the way of life's evolution and likely to teach according to their standards.
Will try that for my kitchen ants, thanks!
I usually use a mix of borax and peanut butter or borax and powdered sugar. Works every time. Or if you wanna take it to the next level use molten metal and pour it in the ant hole. Do that on the fire ants though and not on the raised beds lol
Jar of Mayo - That’s what I suggested to! Borax is amazing for ants. Thanks for your secret recipes!
Scott Riddle thanks to my grandma lol. She's the one that told me. Use a 1:2 ratio and make sure it doesn't rain or the ground isn't saturated. Or use the jar method like in the video.
Great tips Jake. I'm going to be dealing with a lot of ants when I start building my garden. Lol.
Great tip!!! Thanks for sharing
Grits or corn meal works as well.
Thank you I'm going to Target get a cream of wheat box
Ants have been a problem in my yard for years. Thanks for the tip!!!
Love the quick tips!
Game Over! Great tip thx.
Butter and steak for life though.
So I can just sprinkle cream of wheat or grits on my garden?
Thanks for the tips!!! Its started out for me as thinking ants were beneficial... then it turned to overpopulization and then to crawling all over my plants and eating my peppers! will try the baby jar of wheat. will bust out my Earth again. But still not fortunate to get wood chip delivered to my home in Maricopa.
Did you find a good solution?
That's awesome! Now how about mosquitos? LOL
The old-fashioned remedy is to use dishwashing liquid in a bucket of water [mix and bubble then] just sit it to the corner especially if it has some great fragrance from a extactsit will attract the insects not just mosquitoes to the water and the dishwashing liquid will hold the insects down
I use 10tsp white sugar, 1/2 tsp natron/Bicarb Soda, and enough water to create a solution and left it in small bottle with a hole small enough for the ants to go in, they never came out.
Do you experimented with hydroponics?
Instant mashed potatoes works also! :)
Thank you gonna try it
Love your video! Cream of wheat? Who would've thought?? Thanks for the great sound, video and information!
Grits work also.
Do you know if malt o meal will work as well as cream of wheat? guess I can try it and see .. .
We miss the house garden. Can you turn back to the way you were in before?
Life goes on m8
What no RUclips channel?
And important fact that you might be missing. Especially on your egg plants? They’re not eating the leaves. Plants like eggplants tomatoes potatoes are all in the nightshade family. Ants are very clever and farm. That’s right they farm life stock. They carry place and protect several types of parasitic insects like aphids on two plants and vegetables. If you’re seeing ants on your plants. Look for insects too!I like your recommendation with the cream of wheat. But I’d like to know why or how that is effective on the chemical basis? Boric acid mixed in something sweet is also very effective.
Scott Riddle ants will eat the discharge of aphids… But I have also had infestations of ants that do eat the leaves of eggplant, pepper, and tomato plants
Perhaps it’s because of your specialized environment being in the desert. Because in less you have leaf cutter ants which are only in the rain forests. That is very unusual behavior for ants.Please take a video of this action if or when they do it again. Piling all that mulch up will make great nesting grounds for them. Wink wink
Scott Riddle, yes there are ants that will attack and eat plants in the USA, it's rare to have a problem with them though. I'm surprised Jake is "anti ant" they're just as beneficial to the soil as worms, they're like worms if you have no ants in your soil, your soil is not healthy.
americanwillow Thanks for explaining the obvious to me, you've done that before, thanks for the help but it's not needed.
What about Ants that Farm Scale on stems and leaves of Guavas and Longans to the plants detriment - they dont care if plant goes into stress and almost dies or does if you dont notice and spay scale?
Great video, Jake! We LOVE your videos. Fire ants are a problem. Thanks for posting!
Question:
Does Cream of Wheat work without the jar? Is the jar needed to keep the Cream of Wheat dry?
We'll let the ants live in the ant lovers' yards, and surrounding 1000s of miles, however, fire ants are an epidemic in the south and we (and our quails) just want to enjoy a small part of our yard, our little orchard / garden, without suffering dozens of fire ant stings. Thanks again. :)
yep don't eat cream of wheat it even kills ants :D
Wow ! Is it dry cream of wheat?
I'm in 2021 and I will try this tip in my garden.
Ill chk bak n let ya kno if It helped me ...
I prefer more peaceful methods. I dont want to hurt, kill or explode anyone. So I prefer the woodchip method. I am sure that there are methods used in permaculture that have other ways of deterring ants or keeping them away from certain areas with herbs or combinations of plants, etc.
Pest confusers. Pungent, astringent smelling plants repel pests. Horseradish, yarrow, marigold, etc
He doesn't do permaculture - and apparently, he's not vegan.
woodchips are the nesting place of.....termites....
I'll try it thx
A VEGAN who laughs at killing living things ? Wait can someone please explain this logic to me.
well!! it's like two living things here. one is your plant which also has life and the other one is ants. so you might be confused about which one you should kill, both have lives. you have to kill either ants or your plants to let them kill eventually. Sorry for you that No other options are left...
God gave us meat to balance our diet, ALL vegans experience protein deficiency
@@DISCORDJOINBIO. Exactly, eating deer meat would be like eating Bambi which gets most people emotional, eating horse meat the same, they think of the horses as beautiful animals. On the other hand chicken, pigs, etc.... people don´t care that much in general.
We/ the world/ will run out of 🌳 if all of us use the method of 3feet wood chips. ☺...!!!!
Don't worry only a handful of people would do that.
Thank you, another great tip for our sweet peach tree trying to get a good start. Going to try wrapping the tree trunk up near (but still beneath) where the branches begin, with some stretch (flatting?) tape and paint a light layer of "Tree Tanglefoot" on the tape so the ants can't get beyond it. I am also going to put a jar or two of cream of wheat around the bottom of the tree, and some diatomaceous earth. We are fortunate to have many ladybugs, and we're going to plant some special herbs and flowers near the tree, to attract those wasps and lacewings. :-)
P.S. I find some of the arguments going on in comments here somewhat ludicrous. Calling each other names and then talking about "saving the insects" because nature is "perfect." If nature were perfect women would all have perfect vaginal births, no mother would die, and no-one would die of insect bites (black widow, brown recluse) etc. etc. and snake bites. I think it's time to realize there is a line between being reasonable and just naive and unrealistic. Also, arguing with people and calling them sTUpiD is no more honorable than stepping on a bull ant with your big foot.
I am in Fiji doing small scale of gardening at my back yard but ants climb and found in almost all buds of the plant and the fruits grow bad !can you please recommend the name of insecticide that I spray without killing my vegetables
Love to hear from you sir
Whats cream of wheat? Is it semolina? In UK we dont have cream of wheat. please let know. my garden is invaded by the plants.
My diatomaceous earth rarely lasts more than a few days in Chicago. It rains so much I can't use it because when the ground is wet the earth turns to like a flour mixture and the ants crawl right over it. I also tried cayenne pepper and cinnamon and the ants did not seem bothered at all. Ugh! I refuse to apply pesticides so I'll try the cream of wheat. My ants here in the Midwest are typically very small black ones. Not sure what is eating my radish leaves or some of my kale varieties. Interestingly enough some of my plants and lettuces are untouched while others are bug magnets. One of these days I'll figure it out. Oh, and btw, ants LOVE my compost bin! The sneaky bastards found my kitchen scraps. Well, at least they're not in my garden, LOL.
Thank you for sharing
Ants also chase away friendly bugs
Are You Wearing Aviator Glasses?
What is cream of wheat?
Thx there starting to chew up the pumpkin seeds
In my garden
Can i use oatmeal instead of cream of wheat? Is it same?
Have you heard of cornmeal for ants. Explode is what I heard. Thanks
I just spray my plants and ground with winegar water and they gone.
Diatomaceous earth for ants. Just sprinkle on and around nest and property. Don't get wet.
Boric acid + sugar + water = happy gardening.
Can we spray this solution on plants? Or should just keep the solution in garden?
no, don't spray on plants, google on how to use, you place little containers for them to eat
Cathleen M. Only if they eat it!
Only if they eat it. In areas where theres no fruit for them, the eat it. but my watermellon/ fruit trees etc etc they will not eat it. they go for the fruit instead.
I'm torn I just got it in from my food Forest cutting down some dead banana leaves and stepped on a Ant Hill -- they got me.
but I believe they have a good purpose I'd like to know what that is
Did you dug the dirt out and then layer the wood chips or did you just put them on top of the existing soil? Is the new foundation spongy?
i replaced all my grass with trampolines and i just grow inbetween the springs its fun bouncing around
+BetterYouBetterWorld; aztecs ran rivers between their floating garden beds.
I can live with a few ants here and there, but in my yard I have several red ant nests that are two and three feet wide with millions of ants traversing my yard all day long. It's difficult to do anything in the yard, like playing catch or weeding the garden because you get attacked. What would you suggest I do about?

Lol 😂
Eating animals is bad but exploding ants is funny. Vegan logic?
Dragonetta I said exploding them and taking joy from it, not protecting your plants. Vegans always talk about animal cruelty as their motivation so I don't see how ants exploding isn't cruel as well. Hardly stupid.
Dragonetta LOL wow another self-righteous vegan. This is not a question of IQ I can assure you I am well-educated. By your example if I give you a piece of cake and you eat it and explode it's your fault is it? I am not questioning anything other than Jake laughing at the ants exploding which is cruel. Given how much you vegans natter on about cruelty it seemed surprising. That's it. Get off your pedastool you are exposing your low level emotionally driven IQ more than anything else.
Dragonetta Wow this has really evoked a lot of passion from you. As if I am getting emo about it LOL you're the one blowing your lid over it. It is highly likely you are vegan or are you hiding in the closet? Get over it I honestly don't care about it that much so stop wasting your valuable 'IQ' on it. Use that big brain of yours to cure cancer or something instead of arguing about ants. You need to get laid or something you're too aggressive.
Dragonetta I feel exactly the same I don't think your little diatribe is really worth much. It's just insults about intelligence which don't really bother me. This has grown tiresome now anyway so have a nice life.
Dragonetta LOL at you keep editing your replies, you're really into this aren't you? Btw only huge DOUCHEBAGS use block capitals to make their point. Yeah I really like Jake and what he does, I am actually a fan. Logical people always say never argue with a feminist or a vegan. This argument proves why. Like I said, I don't even know you so I seriously don't care that much how OFFENDED (lol) you are by my original post. I will leave it there as this will just go on and on. Put that passion to better use.
How do you handle leaf cutter ants? They recently stripped most of my jujube and started on my acerola before I was able to temporarily stop them with soapy water spray.
Well Im gonna try this!
Thank you for the video, thank you for sharing your experience, novice home-gardener here? :)
Question, right by the end you mentioned to spread dia-what earth (DE) ? I had never heard of that.
Diatomaceous Earth. Shells ground up into a silicon-rich powder that's safe for humans but deadly for tiny things. It shreds and dehydrates.
Is the cream of wheat dry or with water?
this is better than kung fu. great tips
three feet -or 90 centimetres - of wood chips on top of the floor? are you sure? lol
You heard him - now you just decide for yourself whether or not you want to do that
Does this work for carpenter ants?
i have 2 bull ant nests and 2 jack jumper nests in my yard plus all the other normal ones everyone else has and im a bare footer, i get bit every now n then but not 2 worried, good idea with the woodchips tho
AMDRO ant bait eliminates the entire colony. The queen eats it and game over.
yea glad i dont have to worry about that
Amen. Neither do I! I had fire ants swarming mother birds in their nests and one bit one of my birds and killed her. I waged war. They lost. My neighbors can have em. NOT ME! Not with an aviary and bird rescues.
thats sad they killed your bird i guess the nests werent high enough or the environment wasnt right, i dont do killing i actually despise people who use killing as a solution, theres always a peaceful solution, but yea, theres exceptions, cause sometimes we dont get everything right because we are only animals, and we have to learn the hard way sometimes, i no i wouldnt have expected fire ants to do that to my birds, but then again if they did my sollution would be peaceful and would probably involve moving/improving/prevention, when i was a kid i tipped petrol on a nest and let it burn for hours, but that was more because i was raised a bit evil and couldnt see past my own selfish desires lol gotta have good role models or your gonna be a problem, true humbleness only comes through making selfish mistakes and meditation really, its not so much time that tells but experience in and learning from a natural and healthy environment, most people are deffinatly duds in this time i actually only know of msybe 2 or 3 other human beings on this planet personally that are really truely justified and humble, righteous human beings who have the intent of doing everything the most peaceful and right way possible lol we are the future tho reardless of the fact that we are being forced to become more humble due to what city people and meat eaters do to the environment and i couldnt be happier that our state of morality is finally evolving from barbaric to truely civilised and justified its about time, im glad i wasnt born 100 years ago and had to live through a time of little progression mentally, wortorn species if you will
wHEN YOU OWN YER OWN PROPERTY IN THE REMOTE DESERT AND A COYOTE OR A RAT STARTS CAUSING ISSUES IT IS A MAN TO NATURE CALL. GOD CREATED THE BEAST FOR MAN AND NOT THE OTHER WAY. I RELOCATE CRITTERS WHEN i CAN BUT FIRE ANTS CAN SWARM AN ENTIRE HOUSE AND EVEN A NEST 8 FEET UP AND HIGHER. THEY ARE ALL DEAD. LIFE IS ABOUT DECISIONS...ONES WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH. AND I WILL NOT LOOSE ONE MINUTES SLEEP KNOWING MY BIRDS ARE SAFE. PS I STILL SET RAT TRAPS EVERYWHERE BECAUSE MY NEIGHBORS BREED THEM....WHEN THEY COME HERE THEY BECOME COYOTE FOOD. ONE RAT WIPED OUT MY ENTIRE WINTER GARDEN IN ONE NIGHT...HE'S DEAD AND I REPLANTED. NO BIG DEAL. JUST LIFE....I AM NOT UPSET WITH NATURE I HAVE ONLY LEARNED TO DEAL WITH NATURE ON MY OWN TERMS. GOD CAN JUDGE ME......I FEEL BLESSED WITH A WONDERFUL RETIREMENT IN A MELLOW AND QUIET PLACE IN THE WORLD. MAY THIS MOMENT BECOME ETERNITY. AMEN
Can you tell us what is the gradiance? thank you
If you are vegan you should let the ants eat the food. Or grow food for the ants and you.
would cream of wheat work on fire ant beds?
So what do I need to put in the mason jar? I didn’t pick up that part
I’m trying to weed and there are so many ants!!! 3ft of wood chips!
Will that work for fire ants? In the South East we have a serious issue with them
put some boric acid powder in some maple syrup or honey, not to a paste but just mix it in, smear this on a piece of cardboard and leave these around yer plants and garden. they will take it all back to the nest and kill the whole thing in 4 days. keep up on this cus new ants may come in to fill the void.
jake, why is it that i never see your or any garden beds you show never have mulch in them?? off topic but i feel its very important to not only use coco coir but also have a 3 inch thick cover of leaves or straw in the raised beds..? around plants.. i grow from seed and i always use leaves in my beds after the plants sprout... would you say that it is unneeded or not as important?
I’ve tried that before man doesn’t work..I got like 20 nests in my backyard
i did plant strawberries and ants began to crawl in😞
Why you naked in that picture
@@sherekhan420u2 im wearing a bathing suit like it matters anyways if im naked or not 🤣
Thank you can we get a tour of her garden. I am really interested in her shade system
If you weigh all ants and all humans on Earth you will find they are equal.
If you have access to 3' woodchip for ants to stay under 1. you are quite wealthy and wasteful. 2. It is more likely the ants are 'burned out' by the acid from that wood breaking down.
Wonder if this will help keep them from my bees...I use diatomaceous earth in the summer and make little ponds around the legs of my table during the winter...would be nice to not have to deal with it anymore...
From what I heard the DE night kill your bees
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt you're right, they are clumsy little things and sometimes fall to the ground before making it inside...i dont want them to carry it inside the hive...so i didn't use it near my bees :)
Ants make the best fertilizer on the planet. The wood chips is a better idea than MURRRRDERRRRRRR.
Some species of ant queens can create hundreds of eggs a day. The mason jar “idea” is hilariously useless. The wood chip solution most likely works, but it sounds very situational to me, on top of the fact that one would be putting in an incredible amount of works just to get rid of a few harmless insects.
no views, no likes, means im first :). love your videos :):):):):)
maybe do a video comparing living in a tropical', desert and normal climate in growing food,since you want to go back to the north, would be interesting. its like a sacrifice, i love winters and snow and i want to move to more warm country to grow more tropical fruits, but you cant have it both :(
you can always visit the snow, youl find you never do tho lol maybe once or twice in your whole life and then again if and when u have kids but other than that its not something to live in, try sty on the land you were born on if u can, not like youd be a world travelling city parasite anyway, we are treeple hoh
I'm a little confused about the name "cream of wheat". Is this baking soda? Or some other chemical compound? Maybe borax??
Cream of wheat is a brand of ground wheat eaten for breakfast. Its similar to corn meal and polenta. It swells up in the ants digestive tract and they pop.
I have ants eating my seedlings will this work to get rid of them?
Use Cinnamon, It works on swedis ants.
those ants chose the wrong grandparents, they will face my bloody wrath
Thats not vegan! Vegan athlete!
What are other names for Cream of Wheat? I'm trying to find them in local grocery but haven't spotted any. Cebu City, Philippines.
its a brand of farina. its a porridge mix made from wheat semolina. Grits can work also or getting borax and mixing it with sugar with a little water to make a paste.
But I like ants
Is that inhumane to the ants? Is there a detourant? I don't want ants to explode... theyre recyclers, they have a purpose. :( i know i know sappy and stupid.
Yessss ❤
3 'feet' of woodchips ?
Sadly he actually meant it.
Hi Thanks for the tips.
Am from UK -
(a) what is a Mason jar?
(b) what is Cream of Wheat?
They must be called by different names over here, never heard of them by those names.
Just wondering. Thanks anyway
attila bloodaxe mason jar is just a glass jar..
Jar is just a jam jar, cream of wheat is ready break, but it won't work because ants don't eat the stuff, they will try to take it back to the colony to feed larvae. Worker ants cannot actually eat the stuff they pick up.
Hi I’m from Australia....what is Cream of wheat 🌾?
Cream of Wheat is a brand of farina, a type of breakfast porridge mix made from wheat semolina. It looks similar to grits, but is smoother in texture since it is made with ground wheat kernels instead of ground corn. It was first manufactured in the United States in 1893 by wheat millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Wikipedia
Less than 3 seconds in and he mentions he is not only vegan but an athlete.......... Wow.
Doing this! Thank you!! Fire ants here have almost sent me to the hospital!
Gone with Plants if yours are that bad, you may want to try the mixing boric acid (borax) with sugar method as well. With this method they take it back to the hill & it kills the colony too. With the cream of wheat it just kills the drones that find it. Normally, I'm all for working with nature, but fire ants are an invasive species & bad for our ecosystem...
Lainey Bug Thank you for that info, I will try it! Yes, fire ants are from the Devil himself.
Here in Toronto they are everywhere. It's impossible really to get rid of them because if you kill the colony nearby, nature abhors a vacuum and more will move in. The problem is they outcompete native ants.
My neighbours had them crawling all over the place this year and they also had the best crop of cucumbers ever. So these ants are good at predating pest species.... although they also eat anything they can, so longterm I don't know what effect this will have on beneficials. So far so good though.
I do appreciate the concern over their effect on native ants.
gabriella kadar Fire ants in Toronto?? Wow, that shocks me. It has always been a southern issue for America because they originally came from Latin America by accidental import. I’m actually in the process of moving out of Texas because I can’t stand them anymore. I’ve been bitten so many times- the more I’m attacked, the worst my body reacts. So my family and I chose Washington state where there are no fire ants. That borders Canada, opposite side from you, I know, but I’m originally from Boston, we don’t have them there. My parents moved from Maine (they didn’t have them there either). How scary to learn they are up where you are!!
Gone with Plants:
These are European Fire Ants. globalnews.ca/news/1421066/what-are-european-fire-ants-and-how-to-get-rid-of-them/
Rather extreme eh? Dump gallons of toxic liquid into soil? So much for organic gardening.....not.
I've got an allotment garden that is close to a creek. This spring was the first time I saw these ants, so that's why I don't know what longterm effect they'll have. The fact they kept the plants clean of cucumber beetle larvae, cabbage butterfly caterpillars, potato beetle larvae, etc. was fine by me. The fact they wanted to farm aphids was not okay but easily remedied. The zucchini plants were totally crawled all over by the ants. Initially I had no idea what was the attraction. Then I stopped bothering monitoring for cucumber beetle eggs because I figured out the ants were doing the job for me. I literally had not a single potato beetle larva! Amazing how efficient they are but probably just as efficient at eating beneficial insects as well. They don't seem to have any impact on Flea Beetles. :(
I let last year's parsley go to flower and it attracted hundreds of Red Soldier Beetles. They lay their eggs in the soil and their larvae eat other critters in the soil so maybe they will do some work on the flea beetle larvae. Who knows? I'm just trying to create a mini-ecosystem plus grow vegetables. So far, so good.
We had a super wet spring and early summer so the ants were coming up to get away from being drowned. I do 'no dig/compost/cover crop/mulch' and thought maybe this is making life more attractive to them. But neighbours who do all that double digging nonsense also had them so it's not a matter of how a person cultivates. These ants move their nests around. Initially I had two nests. Then by August I had one nest 20 feet from its original location. By end of September there was no ant activity so I have no idea if they decided to migrate further. I'll find out next year.
And WOWZERS! The sting is super painful and then itches for days.
You need to check on line sources about where these ants have managed to become established. They are in British Columbia, eventually you'll get them in Washington state if you don't already have them.
bcinvasives.ca/news-events/media/articles/european-fire-ants
Best thing for eggplants, ants. I immensely dislike eggplant. Why do you want the ants to explode? When that happens you only kill 1 ant. Give them something to take back to the nest and kill lots. like Borax, sugar,and honey (that coats the Borax and then the explosion occurs in the nest.).
Vegan here❤
don’t kill them they are just trying to get to war because ants and other ants have war
my year and a half, passion fruit vein i had in a 10 gal pot died on me, when i pulled some of the dirt around the roots, there where losts of ants that came out. i,m wondering did they have something to do with the plant dying. i did have it in shade.
Root rot from over watering but the ant tunnels might have held water too making it worse. Often problems compound each other.
thank you
what's with all the tan? looks like an army post out in the dessert.
i don't have the type of ants that eat plants. wow that's a thing?
the thing i don't like about ants in my garden is they protect and milk the aphids so if i see a lot of ants i know why. i use neem oil on the aphids and a mixture of borax and sugar on the ants. works like a charm.
Sorry to dis-agree about DE food grade : just dont work according to my numerous tests...fighting ants for 30 years ... cleanliness , no food , destroy nest , hardware spray insecticide is a loss of money. Ants are millions years older than us .
Hello how do i get rid of ants crawling on my ceilings and bath sinks every where. I am in Mi. I have no food . can i use cream of wheat too ? Please help me i am very allergic to Black flag and poisons in spray cans. Thank you !
