War

on ants... yes I am totally crazed. My poor family, we came back from a camping trip to a seven lane freeway to the dogfood bowl that I left out. Odor ants, I think. O.M.G, and I do not use this vernacular lightly. Two days of pulling out appliances, looking up every reasonable (no spray) option, running all over town looking for solutions. Finally, I think I have them. I have caulked, I have "great stuff-ed" (probably over great stuff-ed, I took it to potential mouse holes outside too, man that stuff overexpands), put out grant's ant traps, homemade bait with sugar and borax, put up defenses around the houses and under the appliances with diatomaceous earth, cleaned like crazy, dumped out the pork-sung that was a secondary happy place for them and finally... FINALLY I think they are on the run. There goes two days of my life and high obsession.
