Ants!
We are currently being plagued by little black "sugar ants". they are everywhere. this morning we had a trail of them. up the fireplace across to top of the wall and into the pantry. I haven't figured out what they are feeding on yet. my son also has them , anyone else have this problem? We are in Glenrosa.

Re: Ants!
I've had them before. Mix sugar with borax 50/50 and let them eat that. Bye bye ants.
I haven't failed until I quit.

Icing sugar, not regular works best.

Re: Ants!
Me and the ants have had an on-going battle for the last three years... Ants came on in full force year 1 and 2 and each year I thought I won, only to realize they retreated due to spring rolling in. Have even stood in part of the lawn to look down at ant crawling up my leg fast and furious.
Late last year I fought back and fought back hard - hit them with some amazing spray that my neighbour gave me, this year... hardly any around. If there are any, they either die from the spray I've used or I catch'em fast!! I've kept that spray as its amazing stuff... shhhh, don't tell the neighbour I still have it though.
