ambermonk Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Received a call from Unknown during dinner. Of course I let it ring. But then they (it?) left a voice message. Not really a message, but silence. Blank message. Weird. Who or what could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks once or twice a year i get ants in my kitchen. i have used a calking all around the possible entry points. terro works well if you can find a safe place to put it. it's not pet safe. but it works well on the ants i get. they gather around it like it's an oasis and then take it back to the colony.

Funny, I've been using terro powder because I've been told it's low toxicity. Ants aren't stopped by it though. Are you using the spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Use diatomaceous earth. Quote Diatomaceous earth (DE) has many uses, but one of the most popular is as an insect killer. DE is not a poison, but a naturally occurring product that works through mechanical (physical) means to kill pests. Unlike many chemical products, bugs will never become resistant to it. Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized remains of a type of algae known as a diatom. The shells of these diatoms are made mostly of silica, and when crushed up, they form a soft, white powder. Diatomaceous earth has microscopic, razor-sharp edges that are harmless to humans and other animals, but deadly to insects. When insects crawl through the diatomaceous earth, the microscopic sharp edges work like shards of glass, slicing open their exoskeletons. As soon as the waxy outer covering of the bug is pierced, the insect will slowly begin to dry out. DE is also excellent at absorbing moisture, so the more the insect contacts the diatomaceous earth, the faster it will dehydrate. Thus, the actual means by which diatomaceous earth kills bugs is through desiccation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just sugar water + borax IIRC. I like to think that back at the colony they come to realize, "hey, everybody that goes thataway comes back, dies & takes a bunch of us out in the process, so maybe we oughta not fuk wit thataway nomore" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drillkicker Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I stopped at 7-11 for a lemonade on my way home from the gym and this huge crackhead-looking guy appeared in front while I was inside and started screaming and kicking the trash can. He tried to talk to me on my way out and I ignored him, but I was too afraid to unlock my bike that I parked right next to where he was furiously pacing back and forth. I'm now squatting on the street a block away and wondering whether I can safely go back for my bike. It's starting to rain. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
