gotcha...she gave me a fascinating, more detailed explanation offlist.
 
For those interested in some academic research into controlling pests with home remedies, I found this:

and for more on the wonders of vinegar:

I find myself using balsamic (black, white and gold) vinegar is more and more dishes...hated the smell of vinegar as a kid.  It's a wonderful way to add flavor without adding calories.  I used to slather veggies in butter, now I just toss them with some good, aged b.v.
 
If you haven't treated yourself to a small bottle of 10- or 20-year-old Italian balsamic vinegar, do so!  http://chefshop.com

I'm guessing the ants and the acid in the vinager don't play too nicely
together.  Not wanting to be indelicate, the author left the actual effect
out of the post.
