Rick, Help me please! I live in a 45-year old neighborhood where the ants have set up shop. We have more ants than we have soil. They've nested right around the perimeter of our house and have managed to come in through our basement slab. The whole neighborhood is infested! I'm worried our house will fall through a deep hole into the bowels of the earth  .

I'm worried about my Axioms. What if the ants get at them?

I'm sure you would Rick. I really do feel sorry for Peter, of all things. Having friends complicates things. It's supposed to be FUNNY when bad things happen to other people.

That's a great question. The ones that are coming in are tiny buggers that I don't see in the yard. The visible ones are normal...black...average size. I have to go on an ant web-site and hunt for pics and names. Then I can be more specific.
When I went to the old country two years ago, I was astounded by the size of the ants there. They grow HUGE in warm climates. I'll take ants over roaches any day though. I was infested with roaches in Taiwan for a whole week. I slept under the covers with heavy items weighing the covers down so that the big red buggers wouldn't get in and feast on my eyeballs. It was 35 degrees and no air conditioning. A week in hell!!!

Argentineans, I would bet. We generally have plagues of those.

I'll start cursing them in Espagnol and maybe they'll vacate.

It looks like they may be little black ants. Argentines too maybe from what I remember. We don't have any right now 'cause it's too cold.

Rick, this was 13 years ago, back then stations were the thing. Our new house has no issues. Anyway, looks like Iowa uses Termidor now as well.
