We ended up getting some of those ant bait things and the population has since subsided, but I'm going to keep this in mind in case they come back because it seems a lot easier (and maybe safer?).

I almost went crazy trying to get rid of them for a whole week until I came across a tip on the internet that worked pretty close to instantly! Take a spray bottle, and mix up a batch of water, rubbing alcohol, and dishwashing liquid. (I never measured it). Shake it up until it bubbles and then spray any ants that you see (kills them immediately) as well as any ant trails you notice. I pretty much doused my whole kitchen and dinging room with the mixture one night and the next morning...no ants. They haven't been back since.*Kayla* @This Beautiful Messhttp://www.blog.kaylaacarter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-72580894554762518662011-05-03T09:00:09.804-04:002011-05-03T09:00:09.804-04:00@ Nicole & @ Zara - Thanks!!

I suppose it's like a rite of passage or something to have to overcome all these little home quirks and challenges.

I can remember when one of our pipes burst and we couldn't use the hot water...I heated up water in big pots and then carried them to the tub to give myself little mini-baths...brr! The only cups that were short enough to fit in the pots were our good juice glasses. Nothing like shattering one on the bathroom floor at 5:30am. To this day, the "no glass in the bathroom rule" still stands. ;) <br /><br />Holy Cow- we have been there. But it made our marriage stronger. I am glad you are finding the good in all of it, but I promise it will get better. :)Holly https://www.blogger.com/profile/00206322571532656042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-51492446031482065362011-05-02T18:56:29.629-04:002011-05-02T18:56:29.629-04:00Well said.Well said.Zarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464062863394929947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-6630891617231337422011-05-02T17:43:45.443-04:002011-05-02T17:43:45.443-04:00a "blesson."
