[Sca-cooks] fruit flies/now ants

[Huette von Ahrens]

Have you tried Windex?  Something in Windex makes
ants curl up and die, especially if you spray
directly.  I usually spray along the ant trail
back to the nest.  This not only kills the ants
but also covers up the scent markers they use to
follow the trail.  

And of course Windex is safe around pets and
helps you keep your counters etc. clean.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they
