Mutt, find the trail the ants are taking and put little piles of corn meal out for them. They'll carry it back to the rest of the ants and it will kill them, plus if you have pets or kids in the house, there's no danger for them. My dad used it for years.

Greetings. Not only did the ants build a resort next to the bait station in my home, but they also built a casino. After much research I discovered the ants were the majority shareholder of the company that made the ant bait I am using. I think it is time to try another ant bait. Did you ever see the video of the rat in NYC carrying the slice of pizza down the stairs? If you haven't, google "pizza rat." You will be thankful it's just ants. When I lived on Long Island, I had a problem with crickets coming inside every August. Here in Tennessee I have problems with fruit flies.

Sunday's Questions:

-Do you have any portable air purifiers in your home?
no

-Do you own a battery powered air compressor? No. For what are they used?

In my kitchen I have a/an...
-Electric knife
-Electric can opener

-Knife sharpener
-Wooden salad bowl
-slow cooker
-Toaster oven
-Ants
-junk drawer
-Mouse trap waiting to spring into action
-Lot of Tupperware

-Bread maker
-Other


Just the junk drawer.

-Do you have a kitchen appliance that you have never used? no

-How many remote controls do you have in your home? Two but I only use one.

-Ever own a slide projector? No.

-How about a movie projector? No

-Do you have a printer for your computer? I have a color printer for oversized photos (19 × 13). I can do regular 8.5 x 11, printing, too, but the cartridges are expensive so about 90% of the printing I do is for photos only.

-Do you keep an assortment of batteries on hand for flashlights, remote controls, ect? I buy AAs by the box. I mostly use them for my cd player which takes 2. In one box, there are 12 smaller boxes of 4 batteries in each. I also use them for a battery powered small lamp. The remote takes 2 AAs. I have several rechargeable batteries for my cameras because they all take different ones. Have one on the charger right now.


Well, that's all.

Spread some ANDRO where you see the ants and colony and sprinkle some more completely outside around the house foundation. They take the bait to their homes an give it to the queen and then everyone dies. May take 2 applications a week apart.

Did you win anything at the casino? At the very least, you should be getting a cut of the profits.

Not exactly an "appliance," but I bought a vegetable spiralizer and have only used it once.

Three. One for the TV, two for the stereo receivers and one for the DVD/VCR combo player.
