Now that the weather has broken and heat is upon up (...yay) the kitchen has suddenly become infested with ants. They have become annoying very quickly. And not only are they attacking the human food supply, but the food supply of the animals too. And as my poor kitties look upon me with sad eyes asking 'why, oh why food giver is my kibble crawling' I know that it is time to eliminate the insect menace. Point of attack one: poison bait. Boric acid is supposedly a the chief ingredient in home made pesticide. It kills the ants slowly so they take it back to their nest and feed it to their ant babies. Bwah, ha, ha.
Sugar water and boric acid, applied to cotton balls
Tainted peanut butter, not as effective as tainted love, but it'll due
I am experimenting with liquefying some cat food and adding boric acid to that since they can't see to keep their greedy little ant paws off it. Later we are going to apply Ant Shield outside. Die, fuckers.
My experimental trapsHa, even as I type the ants are gathering around one of the cotton balls. Yes, feast my tiny friends.
Oh thats really sad to know about your kitties food, i really enjoyed your post and i feeling like this is about my kitchen.
