my weekend. also, i need a MERCHANT OF DEATH

[rmd]

hey seattle-area folks! anyone have an EXTERMINATOR they can recommend? i need a colony of ants wiped out, preferably in a way that is minimally harmful to small to moderate sized mammals.

in other life-stuff, my weekend was good -- bachelorette celebrations for hammercock were silly and fun. also, spent some time with my folks on the cape on saturday. sunday, clauclauclaudia and i went to foxwoods where i failed to repeat last year's performance. i busted out early and proceeded to spend part of the day playing $1-$3 stud and then had dinner with clauclauclaudia (who made the money and finished in mid-20's) and then made back my tournament buy-in and then some playing $1/$2 NLHE.

i gave a vocabulary toke to a woman who used the word "transmogrify" in converstation at the table.

If you want to try something cheaper and DIY first, Grant's Ant Stakes (readily available at supermarkets, drug stores, hardware stores, etc.) have generally worked quite well for me.

For specific attacks, clean up whatever it is that's attracted their interest and put down a stake in its place. You can also place one or two strategically across the trail in a different location. Give it a day or 2 (sometimes 3 if it's a really bad case) and they're gone.

You can also plant a perimeter spaced every, oh, 8-10 feet or whatever, around the outside of the house as a preventative.
