The Ants Go Marching Two By Two

[queenoftheskies]

Boo-hoo. Boo-hoo.

I can't get rid of them no matter what I do.

Every time I think I have them squashed, I look up and there's ANOTHER one crawling up the wall or on my desk. Sigh.

I'm starting to wonder if they're coming in through the air conditioner AND the window.

Get 409 or Windex or whatever you have around, squirt all the ones you see and around where you think they're coming in. Of course you'll want to put some bait outside but that stops them coming in right away.

You know, I've been using green apple, Lysol, and watching them dissolve.

I got rid of them, but then had a few stragglers last night.

None this morning. hooray!

They'll just keep coming until you clean off the trail they made. Unfortunately, you can't do that until you follow them back to their source. :(

That would definitely be hard down the side of the apartment building. :)

Eeek. I guess they're trying to get out of the heat.

Here is the safe, easy recipe Karen Taylor gave me for getting rid of ants: put in a spray bottle some vinegar with pineoil and a few drops of eucalyptus oil. Apparently, this disgusts them so much, they leave. Go figure.

Oh, cool! Thanks! I must try that. I can see how it would be disgusting.

There's only one thing for it. The stampey ant dance :S

Or you could call in the nasty people with the bug spray guns who take your money.

You know, I'd love to have an exterminator if it wasn't for my dear kitties.
