Progress report

It was a long day and I'm done for the night. For now, I can report that so far the boric acid seems to working on the ant problem. I haven't seen an ant in the kitchen since I spread it around. Of course I realized as I was doing it, that this is also a poison but somehow it feels more acceptable than chemicals.

I'm not convinced it's working yet though. The weather turned warmer and as I recall, they sometimes went away for three or four days last winter and then would reinvade. I'll have more confidence in it after a week. Hoping for the best...
