Ants. I got ant traps, which have worked in the past. After a couple of horrifying swarms in the kitchen and living room they seemed to have disappeared. They are teeny, tiny brown ones and very hard to see on my wooden floors. This morning I caught one crawling up the bathroom wall and last night, sacre bleu, there was one in the bed.

I don't want to spray because I have two cats.

The house where I stayed last summer had an ant problem in the kitchen. They used some non-toxic thing which worked with regular application. It killed them on spot. It was a pain, though.

Cayenne is supposedly a good ant repellant.

Cinammon, too. They hate it.

Windex seems to work as well--at least on the small ants.

I'm having trouble sleeping these days. I don't know why. My face is starting to show it too.

This stuff works great for ants, cockroaches and fleas and is safe around pets (you can even use it as flea control.

I find a glass of wine really helps (although for some it makes them wake up in the middle of the night). Have you tried Ambien?

Our bedroom a/c is sitting on the floor of the foyer awaiting installation into window and my dear husband refuses to clean all his shit off the bed in the second bedroom (aka the basement, attic, mini-storage) which already has its air conditioner. I'm getting sick of this weather.
