We’re’ at the tail end of the ‘bugnado that hit our home.

The best product I’ve found to get rid of ants is diatomaceous earth. Get the food grade. Sprinkle it over the area where the ants are. The sharp ground up seashells destroy the ants’ body shell. They also carry it back to their nest and spread it over all the other ants.

We had ants under our flat top stove. I flushed them out with Windex, but what really got rid of them was a Pure steam cleaner.

I have all of the products you mentioned the diatomaceous earth borax etc. etc. just wanna make sure kitty doesn’t get into it.

Just surprised me. Fine biologist/entomologist I am. Never heard of or saw these little things

Storms passed quickly . Some local damage . None here.
