Cornmeal

We had ants.

Everywhere.

Summer does that, you know.

I remember Bryce telling me that cornmeal sprinkled around ant collections would get rid of them. They're not repelled by it, but apparently they carry it back to their food store, eat it, and then they can't digest it and they die. Sounds horrible, but very effective. I know it worked in my kitchen! Thanks, Bryce!

SMASH THEM! :)

For flies, use an electric fly swatter. It blows them up giving you the ULTIMATE satisfaction.

(I don't remember telling you (James) that cornmeal kills ants... infact I don't think I ever knew that! So thanks.)
