@foraygardengirl You are a gal after my own heart. No ant problems here just mice. We 'harvest' them all year long in reuseable traps. Yuk but they can be horribly destructive. I haven't built my rock garden yet but it is in the works for next summer/spring. Will keep an eye out for the smaller beasties and keep the hot water and funnel available. Hmmmm. If I found mouse holes wonder if that would work.
