Pest-y Problems

Those black sugar ants are a HUGE problem in this area. A fantastic solution that you can do yourself is Aspartame-you know, Equal or another name, Nutrasweet. Sprinkle it in the corners in the rooms you are having trouble in, preferably on a window sill. Wet it just a little and you'll see that in a few days the problem will be taken care of. The way it works is that it is a neurotoxin and when brought back to the mound it creates confusion and then their whole ecosystem is brought to a screeching halt, killing them. Nutrasweet may be found in over 6000 products from soda to even supplements, but it's hardly truly safe for human or even ant consumption! Try it!

I bought a few differant products at Home Depot. Worked fine. There were some little stakes i put into the ground for outside ant beds and for inside - Terro gel. It cost $3.75. I know thats scary with kids, but I put a few little drops on the paper provided in key areas after everyone went to sleep and picked them up the next day before everyone got up. I put some and left it under the kitchen sink and in high cabinets. I have not had ants in any of those areas again and I havent retreated since last year.

I second Rid All, but I'm a bit biased. Ask for Patrick. He's my brother in law. :)
