Do they ever escape?!? Once it warms up here my house looks like an ant Mardi Gras party EVERY morning....and throughout the day. I cant leave anything with a single crumb out or there are thousands of them. They even get in the dishwasher (after it has run even) They are all over the property and some really bite. My 2 yr old was playing outside and all of a sudden began to shriek...a couple hundred had crawled up his legs into his pants, diaper, shirt....thanks God not his head. Terrible bites. Even the exterminator cant get rid of them. I know we need these critters but I cant bring myself to feel friendly towards them.
