The Ant Wars. Re-establishing the Perimeter

The boric acid baits seem to be working. The ants have stayed outside ... mostly. A few hardy survivors have managed to put together some advance patrols, finding weaknesses in my defenses.

Yesterday I began the process of re-establishing my defensive perimeter. Since the easiest points of entry for the army of ants are through the window sills, I put a dusting of diatomaceous earth (D.E.) and boric acid along the base of the windows I have spied ants penetrating my home. I mixed the two products 10 parts D.E. to 1 part boric acid.

The next rain will truly test the strategies we've employed to defeat the relentless hordes of the great ant armies.
