Ants... Again

So, you may remember that a few months ago I got ants in my pants. Well, ants in the kitchen isn't quite as bad, but it's still a problem. During the pants episode, we sprayed around the entire house, and after a while, it finally seemed to kill all the ants. Evidently it's time to spray again, because after a lovely meal of spaghetti and a long-needed kitchen cleaning, we suddenly had ants... again.

Interestingly enough, the mess that had been there for way too long hadn't enticed them, but clean it all up and leave one bowl of drippings, and they came running. John performed the usual duct tape and vacuum maneuver, and then, in his wisdom, decided that who we to stop them from eating in our kitchen? He placed a napkin where the bowl had been, and covered it with ant treats, a.k.a Amdro poison. When I came home from work 6 hours later, the napkin was empty. We placed more out, and more again, and the ants are still cleaning.
