- We were recently invaded by ants (there were hunnerds of the little
- buggers!), and since we have a cat we weren't too excited about
- sprays or foggers. Instead, we got those little ant bait things
- (sorry I can't remember the name) that you place around the floor
- and even on counters or in cupboards if necessary. They seem to
- be working very well - haven't seen an ant in weeks.
-
- If you don't know what little ant bait things I'm talking about,
- they're smaller versions of the roach bait things - the ants
- are attracted to the bait and take it back home where other
- ants are also zapped by it.
-
- We had been through a can and a half of some Black Flag spray,
- but like I said, using it around the cat made me nervous and
- it didn't seem to be working anyway.
-
- Just my two bits.
