[Vision2020] I want to murder ants

[deb]

We have had some luck with a borax/sugar mixture when all else fails. You do need to put it under a board or something across the trail of ants, as dogs and cats LOVE sugar when it's hot out (another mystery of the universe---most of us want SALT).

We had the ant invasion from hell a couple of years ago, three different kinds of ants, all coming from outside to inside. They seemed to be drawn by moisture! The borax didn't work so well on my Aunts. They just used it to wash all the laundry that accumulates on a farm during harvest.....and scolded me for using sugar, instead of honey or molasses.

  Well, it's too late to turn back now (assuming the vinegar works)......the deed is done.....

  Whatever you do, should you elect to follow the adolescent ants to determine whether they are up to no good, do not exit your vehicle.

  P.S. Since it sounds as though you have a preconceived prejudice against these insects you will richly deserve any assault you receive at the "hands" the misunderstood bug you have just profiled.
