I fucking HATE summer. Our poor little trees are cooking. The leaves are shriveling up and falling off even though I've been giving them water every night. Oh, and have I mentioned that our house is being invaded by ants looking for food and water? They're coming from every door and window they can squeeze through. I keep seeing ones crawl out of my keyboard. :(

you need to spray! we have this spray my mom bought when we moved into our apartment, she sprayed the entire outside of our apartment and in the laundry room, around the windows, etc. anywhere it would easy for an ant to get in. the best part is that once the spray dries, it's fine for the cats to be in those areas. you could buy some and spray around the entire outside of your house.

it works wonders! this particular spray also kills ants if they come in contact with it, so you could spray indoors to try to help kill the ones you have.

I've been using BugOut spray on them, and it has worked fine. They just keep popping up in places where I haven't sprayed yet, so I've been carrying the can around with me everywhere.

is it one where you can just go outside and spray around the entire house?

the orkin(sp?) man told us they come inside to get away from the heat.
