You are correct.....the auto correct must have taken over....even after I had proofread my note. I would not know how to inseminate those little boogers, but if it would get ride of them, I'd give it a try. OMG, I cannot believe I wrote that.

If you don’t have a bug service, get “Terro” ant bite sold at Lowe’s, Publix, Winn Dixie and other outlets. Once the baits are down ants will disappear in about 2 weeks, baits are good for 90 days.
Helpful post. Thanks!

Last year we had the pith ants or sugar ants. They do form a trail. But this year we have the tinier ones that look drunk. Superior is coming Friday. We pulled the stove out and there were a lot of crumbs and the tiny ants, usually Superior throws stuff under the stove to prevent bugs but I didn't see anything so maybe Friday they will.

Anybody have them? You have to look hard to see them.

In Ohio we call them Pith anth.
****ant
A ****ant, also seen as **** ant or ****-ant, refers to a specific type of ant. The word is also used as a pejorative noun or adjective, indicating insignificance. It has its origin in the word pismire, a fourteenth century term for ant. Wikipedia

This is what we used and never had a problem since.

also had those in my lanai.
Called Massey my spray company and they came out and took care of the problem. Haven't had any since.

This method worked for me. But you have to put the drops directly along their pathway. And then just leave it there for a couple of weeks.

Why are you studying your bathroom tile??? Did you drop your Readers Digest subscription?

Default Ghost Ants

Ghost ants, we've had these little critters in the past. We just sprayed Windex in all areas (nooks and crannies) of the kitchen or wherever they were at and no more ghost ants.
