Going bug -eyed
Yes, I am ...everywhere I look there are ants, spiders, aphids, earwigs -EEEWWWW !!!
I know these creatures have a purpose, but why does it have to be in my yard LOL. Actually ,this spider is kind of beautiful in it's own way.
However, I a still battling these ants like this pesky one on my deck !
They are all around my yard, on my steps, deck, flowers and ocassionally sneaking into my house - grrrrr. They are just itty bitty things, but it seems like everyone is having the same problem this year. It must be the warm, humid weather. I have tried all kinds of natural defenses so as not to poison our pet cat, but nothing works.
Do you have any suggestions ???

Okay, the spider was neat, but the ant creeps me out. Perhaps it's because one never sees a solitary ant?
I've used the Raid brand white plastic ant bait, and if you could wedge it in a corner where the cat couldn't reach it you should be fine. Guess what they're baited with? Peanut butter! Had to warn the 18-year-old not to slurp on the ant traps.
