Wow, your amp goes to 11?
Mine only goes to 10...I feel so inadequate.

Get those ant baits, I've found them succesful with most ants. The
one that is 1/20 borax is cheap and ants love the sugar.

I use ant stakes, the poison is in a container that you break the seal with
a nail, it's like thick goo/glue, so won't run off or out. I use to place
them all around my pond, but so far this year have only placed a few as
needed. I have black ants, so maybe it makes a difference. ~ jan

Boil some water and pour it over the ant hill. (you can only hear them
screaming in your mind)

This should only be done after inserting Wagner's Ride of the Valkeries into
the stereo and turning the amp to 11 on the dial.


I love the smell of pond scum in the morning!

I had it specially modified by the same guys that modified Spinal Tap's
amps.

No my amp is louder because it goes to 11.
