I am so SICK of these!!!
WE have tiny brown ants that materialise in SECONDS! I got up this morning and looked at a cake I'd made last night - it was moving - I was SO annoyed - as it was really nice and my oven usually burns everything - plus I had run out of butter for the icing :( SO today we went to Jared's Folks to Pilfer some MINT from Lorraines lovely Herb garden....she gave us some to plant - which is just awesome as I love the smell of fresh mint. OH the mint is for the ants - my mum told me she used to use it in her cupboards when we were little....
Ants are amazing creatures. A few months ago I caught sight of a teeny ant pulling a spider which was MASSIVE in comparison - not sure what his plans for it were - didn't know that ants were carnivores!! (sorry its not that clear!!)

oh don't you hate them! We have HEAPS in our house at the moment too. Will have to give the mint a go.
Plant the mint in a pot or it will take over the whole garden. Hope it works.
Thanks Debbie!
That is an amazing photo of the ant and spider.
I suppose that is why we are always hearing about hard they work in stories.
Hope the mint works.
I will start you some other herbs in pots for you, and it would be a very good idea to put the mint in a pot, but I love mint, the herb, but mint lollies freak me way out.

Love Lorraine.
Ants are annoying - but pretty amazing at the same time! Quite fascinating to watch really aren't they..... but NOT when they are on your cake!!!!
