    Well, heck YES! Nearly every year, to one degree or another. But this year, they were particularly pesky, and I was in at least $30
    (HELLO, fabric money.......) to rid them. NOTHING worked.
    Everything I used, I already had. (20 Mule Team Borax is a great product, by the way. Old School. Great for baby clothes, delicates, laundry stains, yadda, yadda....)
    Regarding the recipe. The sugar water draws them in, but the borax seals the deal. The ants return to the colony after ingesting the recipe, they die and the ant colony eats them, and then they die....EWE!
    DISGUSTING, right?
    HAHA! NOPE. I was under a serious invasion, and they are GONE, GONE, GONE!
    Write this one down in your HOME book, and if you don't have one, you should get one. Mine is a fabric covered (AH!) journal filled with all kinds of USEFUL information. The front is reserved for my best GO-TO hand written recipes. The back is filled with info regarding the house, and such.
    For instance, when the septic was pumped out last. How much paint it took to cover each room. When the refrigerator was last purchased. When we ALL received our last tetnus shot, and the pups, their rabies shots. When the roof was replaced. How to de-skunk a dog (VERY useful information, my neighbors always seem to need). And the kicker, how to size for a bra! Hey, three growing girls over the years! No muffin tops here!
    In summary, (because I know we have English professors amongst us), this ant remedy REALLY works, and it is VERY inexpensive.
    If you don't have a house journal, GET ONE. And write the remedy down in the back, and start your own HOUSE journal!
    Not an ant in sight, in 48 hours!.....

    I really need to get off the exclamation point.
    It may give people the idea that I'm bright and cheerful all the time....
