When my ants came in this past spring I followed thier trail outside &
gave them a bag of salt water taffy. They are quit happy out there now &
havent seen one in the house since! :O)

If you smoke or know someone who does, save those butts. Half a coffee
can of butts filled with water and marinaded {lol} for a few days will
kill those pesky ants .I would of course only use this outside.

I can see you haven't eaten much salt water taffy. Those bugs will get
stuck in the chew chew chew cycle.

Those ant'll reproduce exponentially all right ~~ but some exponentials
shrink in numbers with respect to time. :)

I garden, therefore I weed.

I love this solution, BUT, you realize you are only delaying the inevitable?
What you are creating is an artificial ecology for the ants. Their response
is going to be an acceleration in their reproductive schedules. :-) You
will be tied to providing salt water taffy to the ants forever while they
reproduce exponentially!

Just try deducting the cost of salt water taffy from your income tax. Heh,
heh...Margaret L

Eat it that quickly, do you?

The reason computer chips are so small
is because computers don't eat much.
