It is great news indeed, and will probable stir up lots of crap from other terrorists. I do think it is sorta funny though that Donald Trump hinted about running for pres. and the newscast started when Trump was just about to fire his person on his show. I always look for the hiden agendas, and I figure that was a little punch at Trump LOL

Help! My house has been invaded by ANTS! Does anyone have any non-toxic suggestions for getting rid of them? I have indoor cats that I'd like to keep around, so don't like to use poisons. I've sealed/caulked everywhere I can.

Borax mixed with apple jelly works great! I put it in a container with a small whole in it (so they can climb in and get it but my other pets can't) and set it up in a window so the kids can't get it either. They get some of it and take it to the ant hill and it kills them. You may see droves come in and get some but don't worry it does work!

Also for outside you can use a mixture of grits, water, and sugar:

i love those cochins- i have a couple standards(partridge), but these go in the banty pen- with Captain.... and he needs a few more ladies-

the main flock will eventually be ee's and cochins, and captains group will be cochins- but he also has to have his exotics...Nimi (duccle)and Dragon(the NN)

You will need to clean the trails the ants have traveled not just caulk. The ants mark their trail so others can follow them to the prize food. Use soapy water or spray with glass cleaner. Put borax on their entry area around window sills and in the doorways. Ants won't usually cross that. Borax and DE can be mixed and sprinkled around the foundation of your home.
