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.

that stuff reeks.

You're probably going to have to give it a few days with the windows open, more than that if you need to keep them closed because of a/c. I doused our kitchen last fall and it was horrid. Didn't see another creepy crawly, though, so I say it's worth it.

i keep it open, a/c or not... unfortunately our house is ancient and there's only one window i can open.
