Have you found areas around (or in) your home with little ants marching about? I find them everywhere, going up the tree to the bird feeder, marching up and down the garden lighting, traipsing across the sidewalk to my flowers etc. Usually I like to let the creatures of the outdoors live in peace and harmony, however, during the summer when they are searching for water, they like to find their way into the cottage and invade my space.
If you have issues with them as well, here is a great way to control, if not get rid of them almost completely, without toxic items that may harm your children and pets.
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see the ants (under bushes, fence etc). They eat it, take it "home," and can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed.
