Gypsy, I`ll try the juicy Fruit remedy next spring when my ants return from wherever they spend the winter!! Speaking of books,anyone who wants a good look at what life was like in early NE should get "Good Wives" by Laurel Ulrich. It is a study of the lives of women from 1650-1750. It will make you glad you live in the 21st century! Not too hard to get through, even if it is dry at times. Pat
