If I remember to spray around the windows once a year, I don’t get ants. If I forget, I will usually get them in the kitchen. Note to self: I should spray this weekend.
I had a problem with roaches for a while. I’m not especially filthy, but with one cat being a random nibbler (and underweight), I need to leave kibble out, so there is something to attract them. I started putting this stuff out that renders the next generation sterile, and now I just need to kill the occasional invader from outside. NC has some good size roaches.
I haven't seen any bugs in the condo, but in Otter Lake I get ants easily. No dishwasher there so I have to keep up with the dishes.
I was out with co-workers for goodbye drinks yesterday and had the opportunity to hand out one of my Buffista business cards! (They were talking about Homestuck fandom and saying "Yeah, it's a cult" and so I pulled out my Buffista business card that also says "Yes, we're in a cult.") Does anyone remember who made those? Because they are awesome! I've had them in my wallet for something like 20 years now!
I don't even remember those existing! That is awesome.
We get ants in the kitchen every spring, regardless of what we do. Apparently it happens to a ton of people in our neighborhood, because the neighborhood Facebook group is full of posts bitching about the return of the ants. Terro traps work, but I wish we could keep them from coming inside, period. But since it's a neighborhood-wide problem, I'm starting to think Northside is located over the world's largest ant colony.
Does anyone remember who made those?
Sounds like something DXM would do.
Steph, did you ever see the TV movie Phase IV from back in the 70s?
Wow, those must have been before even my lurking days! I'd 100% carry those. Awesome.
(The cards, not the ants.)

I have not, but based on the Wikipedia description, that might be what's happening in my neighborhood. (Of course, this neighborhood being what it is, half the ants are hipsters with teeny tiny cans of PBR and straw trilby hats, and the other half are queer socialists who grudgingly accept Joe Biden but still have teeny tiny Bernie 2020 stickers on their teeny tiny ant vehicles.)
Do the Northside ants have a lot of aphids running around free range?
