We get ants every year. Corona must be built on top of a giant ant hill or something.

I came home yesterday to find them randomly milling around our bath tub. Just several hundred all over it. What's up with that?

We've had them in the sink and toilet as well. I thought it was for the water or something - but the tub was dry.

They also like the kitchen floor. Just a huge amount - not even in a trail - just all over. It's rather creepy. I end up spraying them all with windex so they stop moving and sweep or wipe them up.

I'm going to try that borax/sugar idea though.

Many years ago when we lived in apartments in Anaheim and the owners wouldn't do a thing about the icky icky cockroaches, we were able to get rid of them by sprinkling borax all over the floors every night. I'd sweep it all up in the morning and after a few days, no more of them. Nothing else seemed to work.

Why yes. I am very glad I don't live there anymore.
