Ant now the ant is near
Monday, May 14, 2007
I hate roaches. But when I think of roaches, I am hardly affected. Ants are a totally different story for me. I think of ants and I get MAJOR goose bumps. That is why when we found out about the ants on the day of our final walk-through, we knew we had to take care of it right away. So last Saturday, instead of buying the usual ant killers, we got this ant bait that looks like a tiny little lego house that has a bit of ant poison in it. It attracts the ants so they take it with them and spread the poison around that it even kills the queen and the entire colony soon after. It's supposed to work in 24 hours. We placed three baits around the curb where their strategic spot is and crossed our fingers. So we checked the same time the next day. Indeed there were plenty ants outside these baits. at first they looked alive but they were in fact dead and other ants were crawling over them to get to the bait. This particular was the hot spot so more ants died there. Bravo! Now that we've taken care of that (or at least a big part of that) we're going to get the pest control solution to keep them away for good I hope.
