careyana said:Sandi, I got in touch with our extension office about the raspberry ants this spring as well. They got into my veggie bed and *were* all over the side of the house, but the spectracide outdoor spray gets rid of them pretty quickly.

I know it's a downer, but I sure as heck hope we get a good cold winter this year. I can't tolerate another spring like this past one. Grumbling


Are Raspberry Ants the same as Crazy Ants? I have trouble with those every once in awhile when there is lack of rain. I use (I now CHEMICALS!) Terro Ant Baits (Lowe's/Home Depot) both in and outside and it takes care of them. If you mix Boric Acid and Honey it would do the same trick. The baite are just cleaner as they are contained.
