The pesticide solution is comprised of an aqueous starch-based composition which adheres to the targeted pest, killing the targeted pest. The aqueous composition is composed of water in which one or more carbohydrate compounds are dissolved, including starch compounds. The pesticide is effective in eliminating a variety of flying and crawling pests, such as insects and arachnids, and is useful in combating soil based ant colonies residing in beds or mounds.
