Well, this week, we have not had anything. We had tried everything, ant traps, cinnamon all over the place and taking my compost out every night. In fact, when the cleaning people came, I had to explain all the cinnamon spread all over the counters. They even cleaned it up, and put all the honey jars on a plate surrounded by cinnamon.

And, perhaps, it was a combination of everything. I have been very good about taking my compost out, or hanging it on my front door. I have been cleaning off the counter, and doing the dishes.

And not ants this week.

And I’m sure they will return, if I don’t keep dong all this, but for now, they are not bothering me and Cartoonist.

ant problem

First, let me say, we don’t have ants in the kitchen, where you would expect them to be. No, despite all the cooking, we are not overwhelmed, yet, by them. They do eat the dog food, and occasionally wander around on the sink, but don’t actually eeseem to be eating anything. Not sure what is up with that.

But for some reason, they have been hanging out in Cartoonists room. So, she had the brilliant idea of sicing the cat on them.

Didn’t work, but she got a good cartoon out of it.
