- You have ants at this time of year? How did you manage that - I thought
- all the little creepy crawlys were frozen by now! I'd try to see where
- they are coming in first and put the spray or whatever at or before the
- source. For instance, we had them coming into the house though a pantry
- that has holes where the washer plumbing comes in so we sprayed those holes
- and pipes and kept the pantry closed. I'd suggest the enclosed ant traps
- but know from experience that the average kitty thinks they're hockey pucks
- Good Luck!
