It seems that the Yang Wen-li tea plus a long sleep is just the trick. Woke up to find that ants had attacked the cat food…. again. I followed them back to where they’re getting in, and it’s kind of a losing battle just blocking that part up. They have plenty of other options, including the gap where the dishwasher is in the cabinetry. Instead, I tried using orange oil over the fronts of all of the cabinetry where they might get in. Maybe that will be annoying enough to keep them out for a few days.
I always blog/twitter/FB update MORE when the boy is away.
