le ants

[cimorene]

remember a couple of days ago, when i found a wee colony of ants and wiped them up with orange fantastik? well, that happened a few days later again. didn't think much of it, as each time they were all gone and this was two different places--well, today, they were in the first place, plus a long line across the bottom of the island cabinets, plus around and up all over the giant tupperware we keep dog food in, and in several other places as well. i used a bunch of orange fantastik again, and the mop, and then i found the ant-raid and used that, and went to the post office. came back and opened the window. that stuff reeks. am worried, though. will the raid keep them out? man, this morning... that was GROSS.

if only they were using cracks, but it's not necessary in our house. the utility room isn't airtight along between the wall and the floors--you can stick insulation right out the cracks--because it used to be on the porch before it was walled in. and from there they just go under the kitchen door.
