Did you know..

@Jibby I've seen thousands of them in the past few years around here and used to never see one. They are over-populated for some reason. Maybe because the long drought we had killed off the huge ant colony in this neighborhood, I don't really know. I've found them on my living room floor, in the bathroom sink, in the shower floor, in a cooking pan on my stove (with the lid on it), etc. Too many to gently pick each one up and carry it outside.

@cherokeepatti yes if your house is on a slab like I have tile floor throughout they seem to get it right in. I keep my AC on so cold if a bug gets in it doesn't even make it a foot across the tile. It turns them into lethargic little zombies that you just sweep up and get rid of. I usually throw that outside if there's a few in the dustpan

@Jibby I poofed food-grade diachotameous earth in every place I could around this home, under furniture, under and behind appliances, in every closet, drawer and cabinet...they still get inside....have seen much fewer this year though they'll eventually die like the few spiders that are getting in do. I also put plastic strips on the bottom of my door to keep bugs out.

@Redzygirl glad u didn't
