Oh my Dog. Smile Did you mean LSD? Looks like you've lived in Mesa and hiked the Mormon trail too much. Now don't go back and edit it and make me look silly. If you're lysdexic I apologize for being politically incorretc.


Good catch! I have a friend who's a dyslexic athiest. He doesn't believe there is a dog!

Paranoid too? He's afraid Dog is out to get him?

You can try sprinkling Amdro granules where Richie Rich won't be able to get to it. I vacuum it up after the ants are gone. You can get Amdro at Home Depot. It is a chemical, but I have found it better than sprays which I don't like to use.


Amdro works wonderfully. When I bought my house I had a slight ant problem. Stuff is great. I have two dogs and neither of them even gave the stuff more than 1 sniff and left it alone. I did use it on outside locations though. The outside application stopped the occasional inside infiltration.

Try looking here to identify your pet ants:

http://www.generalx.com/ants.html

The Pharoah Ant at the bottom of the page seems to be the smallest one at 1/16th of an inch. The website is from a "pest" exterminator company in Arizona.

OK, back yesterday and pretty sure they're the tiny black ant; also found a small crack in the plaster around the kitchen window where I think the were getting in. Little caulk in there and we'll see.
