My Mom's remedy/preventative for those teeny tiny red "sugar" ants was
mont from the garden. A 6" (+/- ) branch on the counters and in the
cupboards. When it dries up, toss it. Makes your kitchen smell good
and improves your pets" breath! My friend with no garden uses sticks
of Doublemint gum. Just use the sticks in their foil - you don't have
to unwrap 'em. This will not work if you have children. <G>
