Need Some Help With Ant Problems In Your Home?

The weather is getting warmer here in Philadelphia and I noticed that one day recently - actually a few days ago - I noticed ants in my kitchen! So I was looking online for articles about how to get rid of ants in your kitchen and I found a great online blog post with comments from others who have various solutions.

Some of their solutions involve chemicals but some of them have more natural solutions and I'm definitely going to try some of them!

Since I work from home I HATE any kind of distractions or things going wrong!

I hope this blog post helps you because I surely hope that it will help me!

Man Burns Down House Trying To Get Rid Of Bees!

I'm having this trouble with bees crawling around a certain bedroom window. I can't figure out how they are getting in! The window in this bedroom has a window air conditioner in it and I'm guessing that they are getting in through the (small!) open spaces around it.

While I was looking online for some information that would help me get rid of them I found this article about a man who accidently burnt his house down while trying to get rid of them. I also found some very interesting links relating to other people and how they are having the same kind of trouble - some even more worse than me!

10/15/07 Update - Well I found out that the bees seem to be getting inside the window between the top and bottom window panes (is that the right word?). You see there is an air conditioner in that window which means that the bottom window had to be pushed up in order to get the air conditioner in the window. Now the bees seem to be coming in between the top window and bottom window. Now there is some insulation foam in the window but it seems that the bees are pushing through it. It looks like the insulation foam has deteriorated some and the bees are getting in through it. I put some more foam-like material to close the gap and now I have to see how well that works.

Update - Saturday, October 27, 2007 - Well it looks like they are getting in some other kind of way via that area. I had a chance to do some observing and it kind of looks like they are coming from the bottom of the radiator area (the radiator that sits under the window). I could have sworn that I heard them "pushing" through something but that could just be my over-active imagination. I know not to shine a flashlight in the area because I read online that that isn't good. So I still have to wait and see where they are coming from and the sooner the better!

Bugs!

Dare I say it? I HATE THEM! I saw one crawling out from somewhere while I was at the keyboard typing and it freaked me out! So you can see that I'm not too accustomed to having them around. Is there such a thing as a "bug free" house? I know the weather is getting warmer and I know that that will mean more bugs (and I hate to say the word roaches!). I also know that warmer weather will mean bees! I hate those too!
