Way to go, ksen! Handyman extraordinaire!

I've got those itty bitty sugar ants everywhere in my house. They are driving us nuts. You can't leave anything on the counter for more than a minute without them suckers climbing in. *shudder*

I have almost run out of Terro Ant Killer just trying to keep them under control. I told my mom that we should take part of the insurance money and have the house tented. It's never been tented, so why not?

Way to go, ksen! Handyman extraordinaire!

This is practically the first major handyman project that I've attempted. I was very nervous about screwing it up and then having to spend major bucks to fix the additional damage I may have caused.

Three things have really helped this to be a success...so far....

1. Prayer!
2. The advice of my father-in-law, and
3. The help I received here in the Hobbit Hole.

Thank you everyone. This place is really amazing. If anyone has a question about something, someone in here has a good answer, or can at least point in the right direction.

We put those things by the dining room window inside, under the window outside and by the back door. They worked like a charm for us. We don't have the little ones anymore, but now we have the carpenter ants back! We're gonna gas them, though.
