Creepy Crawly

[ithildin]

I'm making macaroni and cheese tonight, so after I popped it in the oven, I went outside to pick more pounds of apricots. We have a real ant problem here; they're everywhere. So I'm outside picking fruit, feel crawly and look down to see my feet covered in ants. Bleah! I'm inside now with not an ant in sight, but I still feel like I have ants running up my legs! I don't mind ants, but really prefer them to not be on me in great numbers!

I learned this trick from my Orkin man in Florida it was for dealing with roaches, but I found it worked with ants, too. Mix Boric acid with a bait food. I used crackers for roaches and sugar for ants. Put it along an ant trail. They will return it to the ant hill where it will kill the nest.

Boric acid is a powder that's used in eye washes. The EPA has ruled that it is no more harmful than table salt. More info here (http://www.mouthstick.net/tipsbits/boric.htm)
