I have ants in my house…at least they are not in my pants, but that doesn’t actually make me feel much better. I’m against using toxic chemicals, so I’ve been doing the whole home remedy thing and so far I still have ants…although, I do have less ants than I did before. I haven’t tried boric acid yet, but I do think that may be my next course of action. I’ve been holding off on using it, since boric acid is still a chemical even if it isn’t all that toxic.
Anyway, I thought I’d take a break from my battle and share some Ant Etsy finds with you. It seemed appropriate with so many people having BBQs this Memorial Day (at least in the US anyway).

What a fabulous collection. Thanks so much for inviting my army to the picnic!
Have you tried baking soda for the ants? Love the ant bag- can take that on a picnic, and hopefully only have those ants present?!
I used to have a serious ant problem too. Terro liquid ant traps work WONDERS! Just put one in every area you see the ants and they will be gone, once you’re ready to try chemicals that is. Good luck! (ants suck)
I’m loving the fire ant plate. Snort. Me wantie!
I have ants, too. What a riot, never thought to look for crafty ant items! Although I did make an ant doll for someone once…
