Will he ever learn

We have a problem with ants and I swear sometimes that my husband completely forgets about it. He keeps leaving food sitting out on the counter or food left on a plate. Last night he left an open bag of chips sitting on the top of the stove wich is one of the places the ants are bad. Thankfully none of the ants got in the chips although they were a bunch on the stove. I need to get something better to kill them. I need to clear everything off the counters and spray the ant killer.

Ack. That would drive me bonkers. I have a strict rule about leaving Food out anywhere. We get Carpenter Ants here (we live in the Woods, there is no way to avoid them), and any little crumb would bring them to the Party.

I might have to try that, but they like to go every where, so it might be to big of a mess. Today they are even going on to the faucet.

I've been spreading baking soda around my house! Ha! It is a mess, but those little buggars are everywhere. There seems to be less of them than before, thank goodness!

I have the tiny ones and I know what you mean about leaving food out. SO isn't too bad but he always forgets. I've mixed powered sugar with borax and put it in a few spots and it helped for a little while. Hardest part was not killing them on site so they brought it back to the nest
