Who Knew?

I'd filled it with dry rice and beans because I'd heard from other moms that it's easier to clean than sand. This is what I find on the patio leading to the lawn. They cant get the rice through the patio enclosure but dang if they don't keep trying. luckily they are just taking the rice that's fallen to the ground & have not entered the actual sandbox.

Off to get some ant spray.

No need. ants eat rice and it expands in their tummys and kills them.
