I'm going back up today to check out the ant situation. We have tried the cinnamon. We have tried sprays. There for awhile my mama was leaving a plate with jelly or peanut butter out on the table and then drowning them. We kept telling her that there were millions more where those came from. But, it seemed to keep her entertained. But, I think she realized the games were over the night that she reached for a drink of some Yahoo she had put on the night stand for during the night thirst.... and swallowed a mouth full of the little suckers before she realized they they had traveled to the bedroom.
We put cormmeal all over the yard last week also, thinking that they would eat it and swell up. I'll report in on how they are coming along when I get home this afternoon. Hope I have good news..!!Thanks for all the helpful suggestions on keeping them at bay!!
