Since we moved here in July we have had a small ant problem and I have tried to deal with it the best I can. We sprayed every inch of the house about 10 times and I have those little things that are supposed to kill them hidden everywhere. It has really only been a problem by the doors because they are not sealed very well but when we got back from Utah it was a very different story. They were crawling on my counter and that is just not okay with me!!! I have tried everything I can think of from putting more traps out, pulling out the stove and spraying behind it( I thought that is were they were coming from), to cleaning my counters 50 times a day and I am not over exaggerating. What can I do to get rid of these things??? If you have any advice or suggestions let me know because they are driving me crazy!!!

I'd say you did a fabulous job! The final project is waaaayyyy cute!
We had an ant problem in California at one point. We tried an ant poison thing (like D-con for ants), but I don't think it worked. So we bought a barrier spray and sprayed around the whole outside of the house drenching the doorways where they come in. We even sprayed the interior of the entry way. It worked for us. I just reapplied it every week for a month, then they never came back in.
We hate ants too! We had a similar problem - I'm gearing up for a battle with toddlers & food and those darn ants this summer. I sprayed, did the trap thing and luckily they went away. And I was pregnant - was not a happy camper! Good luck! Your book looks cute - never heard of them before either.
I think it's really cute! Do you use it like a scrapbook or is it more like a wall decoration?
I am so sorry about the ants. I hate ants! When ever I see them, I get the chills and feel like they are crawling all over me. They're almost as bad as spiders! I know I'm way too girly! I love your scrapbook! Very cute!
Try warm soapy water, that should kill them.
I have no idea what to do about the ants but that would make me crazy too - good luck!!
The book is awesome, I am definitely in the category of needing a kit as well :D
