Hello I Love Snow, we had ants last summer, ALL summer, and this year I spotted them a few weeks ago.
It starts with just a couple, and you think, "well that's bearable", but then it's like there's a party in your cupboards and they're all invited! So I put poison down, I am afraid.
I don't much like to, but I would be like "whack-an-ant" if I had to stand in the kitchen all day in boots and stomp on every ant crossing the threshold.
They are creepy when little platoons of them are marching through your kitchen. And they can MOVE!
