PAM,

INVITE A COUPLE UNCLES OVER TO KEEP THE ANTS BUSY. THEY WON'T BOTHER YOU.

I saw that show too..they were VERRRRY nasty.. I have used "ant traps" you can buy them at Walmart..I agree on the spider thing too.

also I put epsom salts around the edges of floor boards..base boards, helps keep out crawley things

Bonnie

Great suggestion Marty!!

Try Raid "House and Garden bug killer" (green can) Pam.

O yeah I have the large variety (ants eh) not many. I catch em with a tissue an flush em. (I hope they are good swimmers eh)

Try Terro Air Killer. Place a drop of it on a piece of wax paper where the ants will easily find it. They get it on their feet and take back to the nest. Works great.

Brought back a funny memory:

I was reading a book and in runs Murphy yelping and rubbing his head against the floor. I thought the dog had lost his mind, but found out he had tried to fool with a cow ant and it had a firm grip on his upper lip (do dogs have lips?).

Anyways, put out some ant bait.

Pam, try dishwashing detergent (we use Dawn) and pour a line at your doorways or windows - wherever the ants are coming in.

Tide (granulated with or without bleach) works too.

We get ants when all the peonies are in bloom - and my crazy next door neighbor gave me this "hint" .. (It's not like I ran outside pouring crap on the ground until I found out what kept the ants away! )
