Hi Kelly.

How's your ant situation?

I am asking because I just moved, and I have ants in the kitchen!!! How are you dealing with ants? I've been just spraying it because I am still not done unpacking yet, and it's pet safe.

Thanks!

They are all gone. I used Borax. Someone told me it would kill them, and it's non-toxic. I just sprinkled some ****ind of a lot) in the areas where I was seeing ants. Three or four days later, there were no ants. I left the Borax there a few more days, then cleaned it up. Still not more ants.

You can get a box for about $4 in the laundry aisle of the grocery store.

Well, it might if they ate a lot of it. I tried to keep my cats from walking in it, since they would then lick it off their feet. They didn't seem that interested in it. The cats do get on my bathroom counter, but I put the borax around the edges of the counter and the cats mostly sit in the middle.

You can also try equal parts baking soda and icing sugar. The sugar draws them, the baking soda blows them up! And it won't hurt pets or kids.
