Not so nice surprise.....
Ant Attack!...they were all over the dry cat food this morning and trails all through the dining and living room....we will have to get some spray I guess, I am not fond of using poisons but this problem has been going on for several weeks and we've tried all the natural means we know of..
today was the worst yet...not fun to make coffee and find ants in your cup...or sit down a drink for a few minutes and come back to a swarm...they haven't gotten into the food cabinets but its only a matter of time...I have everything in Tupperware so there will be slim pickens for them when they make their way into the cabinets. One year they got into the freezer...odd to find tiny frozen ant bodies in there...what were they thinking? Ice skating on the ice cubes? Snow forts in the frost? Snowants instead of snowmen...

What a cutie pie your son is! Good to hear that the nice guys are getting in the news someplace. Ewww about the ants - we fight fire ants all the time (this morning noticed new mound right against our front porch) I used to try natural control but in the instance of a house infestation - I figure once they cross the threshold they are invaders and will be treated as such!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your son had adopted those 2 dogs. I live near the SPCA and stay away as I would want to bring them all home. Hope you are having a nice holiday weekend.

How wonderful about your son! Ants are so troublesome! blessings, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWay to go Don! Adopting from a shelter is the most humanitatian thing a guy can do.
ReplyDeleteAnts---what a horrible mess they are. I get them every spring. I use those Raid hotels. They are cheap and they work. You do have to keep them away from pets.
I had always heard that putting black pepper where they come in will keep them out. I could never find where they come in. Good luck!
What a marvelous photo! And such a handsome young man. You can just see his "heart" in his smile.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a major ant problem right now as well. Carpenter ants! We have tried everything we know of to get rid of them. Sadly we may have to call in the experts. Shucks.
Smiles,
