Under Attack
“DIE, YOU LITTLE SUCKERS!”
Kaelin issues the battle cry, while I commence rolling over the little demons with the sticky lint brush.
It’s true – we are under attack. The ants have taken over our kitchen and no amount of Terminix visits seems to bring their population under control. Apparently the insides of our walls are teeming with them, and being thwarted only makes them more determined to find new ways to breach the wall into our kitchen. We have baited the light switch outlet and the electrical outlets, and treated the yard and border of the house. This morning Jens had to caulk a pore-sized hole near the window that they were using as the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
Up to this point, the unrelenting ants have been a moderate nuisance. But today I have run out of patience. As of today, this is WAR and I will not be defeated.

here’s what you try…tease out a few cotton balls. put them out in very shallow dishes the ants can get into. really soak the cotton in a sugar/water solution to which you have added a goodly tablespoon of borax. they take threads of the cotton balls back to their nests, and the borax kills them there. worked perfectly in our yard/porch. martha’s trick, that one.
Started to right you a recipe for sugar ant anihilation and then saw Ana’s note to you – Same recipe as mine – It should work – Give it a try – Dad
