Keep on Rollin'

Ant advice for your daughter: Kill a colony and a new queen will find the structure and reoccupy it. Pouring a 5% solution of salt in water directly onto the colony exits will poison the structure so it cannot be reoccupied. Find the location the ants are entering your house and leave Terro bait stations right there. If you can find the mound outside, leave Terro outdoor stations pegged next to it. I do not like using broadcast poisons where animals are around.

the world would be a better place without ants, and polar bears

About a quadrillion of them were in my kitchen last week!
