Dawn dish washing soap for your nails and killing ants, who knew.
Manicure secret--Soak fingers in full strength blue dawn. It makes the cuticles soft and easy to work with. It removes natural oil from fingernails. Less oil means polish adheres better.
Repel ants-- Spray counter tops, cupboards and any area where you see ants with a solution of dawn soap and water. Wipe dry. The slight residue of dawn that remains will not be a problem for kids or pets, but ants hate it. Should you see ants, go ahead and hit them with the dawn spray--it will kill them.
I live in the south and fire ants are a big problem. I have purchased many items that say it will kill them for the summer. I have had only temporary luck.
PLEASE -- could anyone tell me their tip for killing fire ants, without killing the grass?
Please also reach out to family and friends. You would be surprise how alone some people are. They need a good word or just a few minutes of your time to talk. Have a good day!
