i feel as though entering my space by a bug is a request for assisted
suicide, they are fine as long as i can't hear or feel them, once they are
close enough for either of these to take place it is imho a request for help
to the next life, Lee

For the last two weeks I have been waging a war with lots of itty bitty
ants. Does this mean it is Spring? So far, I have not one. I had them
last year but was able to find where they were coming in.. This year I
cannot find any access. I vacuum them with my new, powerful hand vac. I
have a half dozen ant baits. I've used clorox to wash the floors but
the
little things just keep creeping in. TuTu will watch them with interest
for a short time then moves on. These condos are one level with a crawl
space below. This building is an 8-plex. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Five percent borax in sugar water or honey works. They take it back to
the nest and share it around - eventually it kills the entire nest.
Sodium tetraborate decahydrate is relatively nontoxic to mammals and in
any case, the sweet bait doesn't attract cats, expecially if you put it
where the ants are and the cats don't go. A readily available commercial
product is Terro.
Thank you. I'll add that one to my list. I hate bugs
