log onto www.gardensalive.com and buy liquid ant bait. That was
the only stuff that got rid of my carpenter ants. The local pest
control place offered my several sprayings at $175 per visit, but
the ant bait did the job for reasonable price.

They love to send catalogs with coupons. So, if you buy a few the
first time, then weeks later they are sending you "we want you
back, 50% off any order" coupons.

I will give it a try; we also have a nasty ant problem in the cottage, but
at least there they don't destroy anything.

Years ago I had ants in an apartment. I got rid of them by putting broken
M&Ms on the floor, waiting 20 minutes, and vacuuming them up. Sounds odd,
but worked.
