This brilliant sculpture was created by ceramic artist Tsang Cheung Shing from Hong Kong.
Yuanyang II sculpture was named after a popular beverage made from a mixture of coffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea. The name, which refers to Mandarin Duck, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture.
Ants are contributing members of the environment, helping to clean up garbage, rotting food and carcusses. But when ants invade your yard or home in search of food sources, they become less helpful and become more of a pest. Many commercial methods and products are available to kill ants, but these methods contain chemicals that are harmful to you, your family and the environment. Home remedies, such as using coffee and coffee grounds, to kill ants are effective and safer for you and the environment.
Instructions
1 Coffee grounds kill and repel ants.
Observe where ants are entering your home. Make a boundary near the ant entryways with dry coffee grounds. When ants eat this, the grounds expand in their stomachs and kill them.2 Spread used coffee grounds around pet food bowls and other areas where you wish to repel ants. Ants are repulsed by the strong smell the brewed coffee grounds put out. Spritz brewed grounds that are outside with water to keep them fresh and replace brewed coffee grounds in the house every day.
3 Kill ants with boiling hot coffee.
Boil fresh or leftover brewed coffee in a pot. Pour the boiling coffee down ant nests to kill the ants on contact. Boiling liquids kill ants at the source, which is very helpful to exterminating the entire colony.
