Pro tip: found a way to keep ants out of my shed using a $5 box of chalk from the dollar store
I drew a thick line of regular sidewalk chalk around the base of the shed last Tuesday and checked daily for 4 days straight, not a single ant crossed it, has anyone else tried something that simple and had it work?

Funny you mention that, I did the exact same thing around my bird feeder stand last summer. The chalk line was about an inch wide and I swear it worked better than any spray or granules I've ever tried. I even tested it on a little ant trail near the driveway one time, they hit that line and turned around like they hit a wall. Makes me wonder what's in the chalk that messes with them, but honestly for five bucks I don't even care. Just gotta remember to redraw it after a good rain though.

Hold on, you drew a chalk line and they just TURNED AROUND? That's absolutely insane, I need to try this on the carpenter ants that keep finding their way into my garage.
