Not funny that the day we brought Ants in My Pants home from the library, ants appeared in the kitchen. On day two, a stream came in through the bathroom. Day three: ants in the cats’ room.

That book is going back. I’d go tonight, if leaving Peanut home alone for 20 minutes didn’t smack of slightly irresponsible parenting.

And so is my policy of using only nontoxic, eco-friendly pest solutions. I’ve done the eco cleanser and vinegar wipe down three times a day for three days. I’ve done the line of cinnamon (hard to do on vertical surfaces). I’ve done everything except sell the house (ba ha ha ha hahahaha. would if I could.)

What can I do for ants that won’t harm Peanut, the planet, the cats, or me?
