    A law school buddy of mine got jipped on his apartment's deposit after we graduated. He lived in an absolute hole, and in the summers he couldn't get rid of the ants. He was so ticked off that he mixed some sugar and warm water in a spray bottle and coated the walls with it. He said when he left that ant trails were everywhere.

      This is the answer. We pay for someone to spray everythree months. We rarely have problems inside or outside the house. When we do see ants, we call the service and they spray and treat for no additional charge.

      We do this mainly because we have fire ants, which are buggers!
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          I get great satisfaction in killing ants, especially those little bastard fire ants, myself. I found that the bug straying services don't use the good stuff but something that is supposedly "pet friendly" and not enough of it. I have been known to use gasoline and a match on their mounds. BTW, they don't easily die in the microwave.

            Andro around the ant hill works wonders for our fire ants. I still refuse to pay a service (but there's a guy who sells me good spray (Demand CS) for cheap, so I can do it myself).

              Ugh, they're getting worse! Still trying all avenues. May have to rely on Terminex.

              Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
