Ant killer

Have you ever had ants in your house???  I know where I live every few years either they show up before I spray or for whatever I see a few in my house.  So I tried something I read about and thought I would share it with you.  It is using Dawn dish washing detergent and water.

And another place with Dawn info

So does it work?  I just sprayed inside the house with Dawn and outside with my regular pest spray.  The ones inside stopped moving so that is a good sign.  Maybe I will leave them just stuck to the wall overnight, in case some more come in and when they see the others they might just turn around and leave.

I did put up a blind on the dinette window in Smokey today.  Nothing fancy but it is better than no covering.


When you pull the string on the left it pulls up every other slat.
Kind of a neat feature.
