Meanwhile, death is swooping over our home.

Ants!

One week of warm weather and the ants are back, as strong in numbers as ever! At the end of the last ant season I started using this bait- NO ANTS! But I don’t know if the ants died because they ate the poison, or because it got too cold. Hopefully it was because they ate the poison, and I can nip this summer’s colonies in the bud- making it safe for jam to reign supreme again!
