Re:

Sometimes in Summer ants come flying out of the cracks around the front porch. I have given up worrying about them I suppose these are the ones that fly off to build new colonies. Don't worry gentle readers they probably don't go very far. .🌺

Good Afternoon

In December, we had ants in the back room.  We tried to get rid of them, but that didn't work, and I had to call the exterminator.  Yesterday, when he was here for his regular visit, I was pleased to know there were no signs of ants.  I'm glad everything is back to normal.

The smallest of pests can cause the biggest of problems. We used to have issues with stink bugs getting into our Location D changers. Fortunately, mothballs cause them to avoid it.

I’m glad it all worked out. What’s a Clover machine? Ants are no fun. We have been dealing with them with all of our rain.
