UGH! Ants here are a huge problem--I think I have mentioned that before. I did finally get some pictures to show how teeny tiny they are. If there is the smallest crumb left out, one ant discovers it and, of course, goes back to tell all of his friends where the party is.
About a month ago, we had a terrible problem with ants. In the height of the dry season (I don't know if that had anything to do with anything), they got into a corner cabinet in the kitchen. I took everything out in the cabinet out, wiped it off, cleaned the cabinet, etc. and put everything back in only to find out a whole new band of ants had invaded that same cabinet by the next morning. I repeated that scenario over the next few days--it was a little frustrating. Okay, a lot.
We don't like to use chemicals, but we got desperate. Tully went out and sprayed ant spray all around the house. Then we thought, "Okay, we're glad that's over!" We knew the problem was taken care of. The next morning, they were coming out of the electrical outlets between the kitchen counter and cabinets.
We THINK we finally have gotten them all--but you can now understand the need to constantly mop the floors. Oh, and the mop we use--it's another blog entirely! But it works fantastic on these tile floors!
