put down boric acid powder, it is the main ingredient in the ant killer
products on the shelf. not toxic to humans or animals, unless you eat several
ounces at once. kinda like jalapenos!

Subject: CS>Totally OT -- but need help anyway
I have an ongoing ant problem in my house. In the kitchen, on
countertops, I use Terro ant killer -- but in the family room the ants come in
under the baseboards on the floor and I can't put Terro down because I have a
small dog that I'm fearful would get into the poison. So -- I have to spray a
Raid product, which kills the ants but sets up an irritation in my throat that
lasts for hours. I'm wondering if there is any *natural* product (vinegar
perhaps? or something like that) that will kill the ants but won't be so hard
to deal with. For those who would suggest that I apply ant killer outside of
the house -- I've tried that too. Nothing seems to stop these things. And
companies that treat for home pests are SO expensive. Any help appreciated.
