ants again
ok so-where does one purchase boric acid? Went to Target, Home Depot, CVS, Vons. Everyone I asked had never heard of it-weird. We have gobs of them-I
am over it.

Someone told me that you can buy crushed chalk (like they use on football fields to make the hashmarks, etc.) Pour it out in a line and ants will not
cross it! One of my neighbor's pours a line all around his house and has no ants!

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Leyes de la Reforma in Bahia Asuncion carries boric acid powder...just picked some up today for a major ant invasion. The little beasties have a
penchant for my greens seedlings. Grrrrr. Of course, Bahia Asuncion may be a little out of your way.
