wow! well, i wish i could do all that, but i cannot because i live in a condo. i have only one side that faces the outdoors and they don't come in there. they are all coming from the other 3 walls, my neighbors (well, they do have one by that wall, but the other millions are all coming from walls that adjoin the neighbors. i thought these things don't eat wood? i know they tunnel, but i thought it was just to get to the food. that off sounds good, didn't think of that. so, i gather i am doomed since i cannot do all that spraying. at condos there is an association and they don't allow anything. if i had a pink flamingo, i'd be kicked out. i do swipe the ants and flush them, every day, all day. i do not think i have ever hated something so much in my life. i guess i am doomed to a life of being attacked by ants. one time when i first got here, they climbed on my bed and starting biting me. i woke up at found them. they are sick little creatures.
