Hi Canie,

Its back to the usual these days and has been since before last weekend, foggy in the morning, sun by noon and wind by afternoon.

I have been watering considerably in my garden and the front, so I don't know why they'd want to come in my house, when there's plenty of water outside for them. I haven't had an invasion like this since two years ago when it rained heavily in the winter and at that they usually chose the bathroom first and then later show up in the kitchen. I've been in this house for five years now and have never had ants in the summertime, so its odd for sure.

Could be that they don't like my cleaning up so much. I was out in the garage last night at one in the morning sucking up spiders with my vacuum, so perhaps they are confused. To bad they aren't like cats and dogs so you could ask them what's the matter. Well, they're getting the windex treatment from me. I'm not allowing any pests in my house these days, large or very small. *grin*

I haven't heard the noise of an earthquake approaching for about a week, watch now, a hum dinger will roll though. Go figure?

Pat
