What I do when I buy 5KG rice before putting into 2 plastic containers I put the 4-5 drops of oil mix the rice properly and put into those 2 containers... since rice is prepared not daily they stay there for quite some time.

Wow! agree with auntieM ... it is an interesting idea. Will try it out when I get my next batch of rice. Thanks

I have ants all over my house especially on the kitchen table top and they crawl all over my food if I leave them on the counter top. How do I get rid of them ie the whole ant nest wherever they are. I have tried the ant "poison" several times where they are supposed to come out and take it back to their nest but it didn’t work at all.

why baby powder :?

Powder/talc 'absorbs' the oil and make cleaning up a breeze. Handy for food stains..
Sometimes my mum would dab the stain with lemon/lime and leave overnight too..

Oh dear, how to make them fail their exams, go to normal technical so that they are easier to handle ? :idea: Gosh, I never thought I have GEP stream ants but not GEP stream kids. :stupid:

I've tried using baby oil. Its quite effective but will be very oily. So after using that, u have to use detergent to remove the oil.
