River, you should be getting a call from PETA very soon.
Sugar ants -- we used to get them in the basement bathroom of our old house. Wonder if we'll have them in our new place. Now where did DH put that blow torch?

The lady bugs are coming out of the wood work too(literally). You cant
spray for lady bugs here so my dd lets them all outside. Its a full time job. I like the idea of cinnamon. I tried borax and sugar for the ants and found it really didnt help.

RW cracks me up!!!
Please don't tell me it's ant season again! We had them last year, but my DH had a different name for them, which I can't print. ha I like Chemar's cinnamon idea.

Went out for coffee this morning with a bunch of ladies today and didn't this discussion come up! One lady swears up and down that borax works. Each spring I pour bleach around the foundation of the house and it does seem to help some years.

There is also some stuff where the ants are attracted to it, they bring it back to their queen, she eats it and that's the end of the colony. However, it is really toxic and harmful to other animals and humans. My dad tried it and it worked but he doesn't have animals/little ones running around. |
