It's that time again - ANTS!

[Sneakers]

I use the Terro ant bait as soon as I see them. One or two days and the ants are gone.

Meh, I'm lazy and use Terro Ant Baits. Like magic, two days and done.

Yea, they love that Terro.

Those little phuckers are back already. Good thing for the terro traps, they are eating that crap up.

I had ONE plate in the sink! They weren't there when I got up. When I poured cup #2 of coffee, there they were. They are now having a party in the trap!

Went to the kitchen this morning to feed Boone and Gracie, and the counter had probably 10-15 ants on it and in the sink. We had seen 1-2 around the last few days but never that many at one time.

Windex is good for killing ants that are visible .. and it cleans up the trail

Ok, I will try that. I have been using Raid.

I use windex to kill the intermediate threat, and clean up the trail, then I put down and ant bait where they take the poison back to the nest

I would rather not use bait around the cats. The Raid with lemongrass works well as a barrier to surfaces once sprayed. Just need to wipe it so the cats aren't walking around in puddles of the stuff to eventually lick off their paws.

Get these. I've never had an issue with the cats.

I've switched from the Terro to Maggie's Farm traps. It's the same plastic form factor, but uses gel instead of liquid, so it can't leak out. Also uses a quick pull tab instead of having to cut the plastic tab with scissors. The concentration of Borax is less, but seems to work just as well.
