But sadly, we are having a horrendous time with ants this year... <i><b>in the house!</b></i> In the past, we've had great success with diatomasceous earth <i>(and yes, Mr. Spellcheck, I know I didn't spell that right, but since the only thing you're giving me is "semiautomatic," apparently you can't spell it either. So there.)</i> I don't know why, but this year the DE is not helping a lot. I've even sprinkled it directly on our kitchen counters, yes we have ants on the counters, I'm ashamed to admit. The ants seem unaffected. ugh.<br />Anyhoo, enough with my ant troubles! Kudos on your Japanese beetle victory!Dianehttp://dianeshiffer.com/noreply@blogger.com
