ARGH. <BR/><BR/>What saves me: a quick prayer, a cup of tea (if it's not too hot out, or the AC is on), and a few rows on the shrug!

Wash the ant trails away so newcomers won't have a path to follow. Put down talcum or borax powder to reveal trails and find out where they come in, and block it. Spray around the foundations and windows on the outside, too.<BR/><BR/>Meltdowns? when the car repairmen refuse to listen to the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-2750233734363717032008-06-14T18:49:00.000-04:002008-06-14T18:49:00.000-04:00I third (or is it fourth?) the request for picture...I third (or is it fourth?) the request for pictures!

Pleeeeeeeease.<BR/><BR/>I sure hope you get a handle on those ants. We purposely have no fruit trees around us to keep the ants away.
