Us vs. Them




My crusade with the ants went from picture A to picture B. My soapbox-environmental-studies-studying college version would be spouting all sorts of things at me at this point, but I can't live with these ants!!!
I need to hire a professional company to spray the perimeter and maybe even the inside of my house. Day 1-3 was Method tub cleaner, vinegar and cayenne pepper. The ants laughed at me. Day 4-5 I got those baits and put them around the kitchen. After about 3 hours, the number decreased. Day 6-7 we used RAID. Man, they seem to hate that stuff. But more and more still come back morning after morning. They say hello to me as I make my morning coffee or step into the shower. And last night they went after poor lil Cleo's food! Well, today is Day 8 with ants and I'm about to contradict my college self. Wish me luck.

Cinnamin! Just shake some out where you see them and they will go away VERY FAST! We had ants everywhere and we just shook some out onto the floor where they were and in a day...no more ants! Good luck!
