******* ants

They're everywhere at home. The slightest crumb or anything remotely sticky and they're all over it. Trying to get two teenagers to remember to clean up after themselves so there's nothing for the ants is doing my head in

******* pain the arse

Midnight snack - they get stuck in the jam


In all seriousness if your kids aren't little, try and find where they are coming in and put a mixture of sugar and borax in a jar lid near that area and they will eat from that and take the borax back to the nest
Borax sounds like a good idea

Thanks

a rejection is a rejection, its generally a tough thing for both parties involved, and most people feel cruel being blunt about it. the end result is the same tho.
Yeah I get that. I'm not expecting them to sit down and give me constructive criticism but sometimes I'd like to know where things went wrong. Obviously it's not something I'd expect from them or feel that I'm owed that, but it'd be nice for the peace of mind.

Put it in places the dogs can't get to.

I've always found Antrid very effective (I think it contains borax). It looks like honey and you just put a bit in an old jar lid and put it on the corner of the bench or wherever the ants are coming from. Works a treat. May need to do it a couple of times if your ant problem is very bad but it definitely works.

My father in law can stretch a 2 minute anecdote into a 45 minute saga
My father seems to talk with a thesaurus planted up his arse in perpetuity.

Some of the words he uses and ways he describes up just make you wince. Someone wasn't drunk, they imbibed prodigiously and unencumbered. Someone wasn't unhappy, they were less than joyously delighted in abundance.

Very grating at times. Just spit it out, papa.
