Ants...

Unfortunately, since we're in a townhouse, we need to convince our neighbors to pay for pest control too to make sure they don't come through the walls. It's about $800/year for them to come out every two months for one house. I'm willing to pay for our house and the neighbors' in order to get rid of these.

That seems steep to me. I pay $75/quarter for Terminix to do inside/outside and my house is about 3000 sq feet. They come back in between treatments for free if I have any issues at all (as in, I called when I saw 6 ants!)

I buy this environmentally friendly ant spray at Target that's primarily mint oil and it works wonders. and makes your house minty fresh, to boot!

Jenn--there was a highway of ants outside and inside on two floors. They are e-ve-ry-where. I called around today, because your post had me concerned that I've overpaid, but it's the going rate here.
