It is AUGUST...time for the sugar ants to come to Raleigh! (Cary: hotels, organic)

[VickiR]

I forgot but THEY reminded me!

It is ALWAYS the first week in August and the sugar ants show up!

Today, they arrived.

For those that don't know what to do with them...I usually put out a few of the ant hotels.

They don't return!

funny, I've never heard this before, but sure enough, I noticed some tiny black ants in my living room yesterday!

Did the ones in Cary all arrive in cars with NY license plates?

No, we have the snobby ones here, didn't you know?

No, but they only go after the organic food.

We've had them in our pantry for a month now. I've had Terro bait out the whole time and they are just now gone.

I don't know what kind of ants I have but I get them every June. They wander listlessly around my kitchen and may or may not take an interest in the crumbs. Not very industrious of them. Slacker Ants?

We also get ants in our cars every summer. They ramble around the dashboard, waiting for the Giant Thumb of Death.

To me, ants are the least noxious household pest because they aren't gross when you squish em.
