Glad to see you have a handle on those pesky ants. We have an ant
problem in our house too. I've never seen ants like these though. They
look like regular black ants but they act kind of kooky. They appear to
move about in random circles and for the most part try to keep separate
from their little buddies. I think they're crazy myself. OTOH, this
makes finding out where they're coming from difficult. Maybe they ain't
that crazy...
