Richard 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Anyone else ever get this problem? They come from under the house I think, so it's hard to fight them. I hoping not to have to spray poison in the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violence 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Mix polystyrene (46 parts), petrol(gasoline) (33 parts) and benzene (21 parts) and sugar, and place it suitably far away from your house but close enough to attract the ant's attention.... Then light it when all the ants are harvesting it.... Then run like hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 We get ants in the house in the summer, and the chalk line does work. Cleaning up after yourself helps a bit as well. Of course, we're moving, too, so that'll help (or at least it better...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest combat_rock Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Yeah, I used to live like a pig, untill I got an ant invasion, and the fuckers actually started biting me while I slept. So I cleaned up my act and put out traps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Keep your dirty dishes clean, and drip antifreeze onto a sugarcube for them. Also, smash every single one you see. When they're getting mashed, they'll put out distress pheromones. Leave the bodies by the opening of their nest, so the rest of them will see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 And speaking of kitties -- the person that probably left this one to drown hopefully will get a visit from the Cancer Fairy...  Link and stuff...  ST. PETERSBURG -- When Maggie Rogers spotted something bobbing in the water three miles into the Gulf of Mexico while on a scalloping trip with friends, she assumed it was a turtle, or a piece of sea kelp. But as the boat got closer and slowed down, she found it was a tiny, apricot-colored kitten. Nine inches long and screaming at the top of its lungs, the cat was paddling furiously. ``We scooped him up and he sat on the boat with me for eight hours,'' said Rogers, who is the finance director at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  ``He was exhausted and stressed,'' Rogers said. ``His heart rate was high.''  The boaters on the 17-foot Scout Current Drift did not know how the kitten arrived in the Homosassa Bay. There were at least 40 boats in the crowded area where he was found, they said.  On Tuesday, three days after he was found, a veterinarian found the 10-week-old, 1-pound kitten had worms, but was otherwise healthy.  He was adopted by Rogers' sister-in-law _ and named Nemo.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Could have been brought on a fishing trip and fell off the side of the boat. I don't think anybody is going to take their cat out on a boat in a full harbor and just throw it overboard. If you want to dispose of a cat then you just drive it to some wooded area and drop it off, you don't make a major plot involving boats to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Kid 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2004 Oh geez, I had those tiny ants in my room once. Had them for 2 Summer's straight, I'm scared that they might come back this year. I dont know where the fucking thing come from! I can't see where they could get in my room at all. A room infested by ants is so gross, I still sleep upstairs.
