Those Pesky Ants!

This is the third spring we've lived in our home and the third spring that we've been invaded by ants in the kitchen.

The first year, we wound up spraying chemicals in the kitchen because we did not know what else to do.

I am very uncomfortable doing that, because of the toxic fumes that are harmful to humans and our three kitties...and I just don't like having that stuff in the kitchen.

It did get rid of them for awhile and then they came back.

We tried vinegar and it did not work.

Last year we pretty much tolerated it, because there weren't very many, maybe because of the heat and drought? who knows...

But this year, they're out in full force, so I researched some natural remedies on the Internet.

I think I will try the jelly/borax mix first since I have both on hand and it's easier than the molasses paste.

Have you had any success with getting rid of household pests the natural way? If so, please post about it!
