So far sucking them up in the vacuum cleaner seems to be working pretty well, but they keep coming back!

        Yes, but not fast enough. :>)

        People visiting my house for the first time sometimes wonder out loud about my spider webs and cleaning habits. I tell them, 'these are mosquito nets and fly traps.' Too bad those bratty little ants don't hang out in the upper corners.

        We don't kill spiders at our house. Not too many black and brown widows this season, I'm happy to report.

          The one positive thing I've heard about ants is that the protein ones keep your house termite free. Don't know for sure, but makes sense.
