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.

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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?

Fucking ants. They are all over my house, including the bedroom (where there is no food) and I have yet to figure out how to keep them away from my mouthguard (including hanging it from a goose-neck lamp and relocating it to the bathroom.)
I had ants and used Orange Guard. It worked like a dream and smelled really nice.
