I haven't used this method yet so i can't tell you that it works 100%. I,ve heard somewhere that ants hate the mint scent, so plant some meant.

I am so embarrassed though! I keep waiting for the Scott's people to show up. Any day now and hopefully they will start dying off. Thanks for the offer. I have been a complete hermit the past few weeks. If you are bored and want to take that trip to IKEA, let me know. I definitely don't mind your car, silly!

We will definitely have to try out the coffee grounds method. Hubby found a new outbreak near our back door last night and is dying to get rid of them! Plus we frequent Starbucks anyway.

My husband and I have been collecting coffee grounds from local Star Bucks ( they give them away free) and using them around the house in our flower beds, they are great for the plants AND really do seem to be shooing the ants away. We haven't had one ant "break in" in the house yet - and we had a lot of episodes last summer. It is worth a try!
