When I came back to SF after my Xmas/New Year's escapade, there were ants in my place. Lots. But the place was really clean. Long story short, they're still here. Apparently they live in the walls of my apartment complex, and crawl out of cracks in the walls, ceilings, edges of doors, etc. It's not as gross as it sounds, I really have a pretty nice place (I better, for $1050 a month), but I can't get rid of the goddamn ants, because, well, they probably own all the space behind every wall.
So I'm trying to find tricks online - snazzy ways to make ants never come back ever again. I prefer chemicals, or possibly napalm, but mostly there's just a bunch of fruity happy suggestions like black pepper, mint, chalk, some kind of hippie soy soap, Borax (isn't that that fuzzy orange dude that loved the trees?), and then there's item #13 here. Seriously,that's awesome. And it comes out of nowhere, right after "natural repellent of citrus peelings."
Anyway, this is the worst post ever, so, Go Lady Terps. Fuck Duke, and such.
Posted by Chris at April 5, 2006 01:56 PMThat Terro (sp?) stuff works really well. You sit it out and they take it back to the nest for all their little ant buddies to eat so it kills the entire nest. Don't get the generic version, though...they only like the good stuff.
