Jonza, you just may have hit on something to help me!!

I regularly see a trail of ants coming from my neighbors yard and going to my trash can - and there is a "return" freeway of them going back next door.

I am going to try the "sugar" cure right now and I will let you know if it works.

I keep my trash cans next to my home and put everything in plastic bags. However, because my neighbors have access to the cans too - they have a tendency to just dump their trash in my cans without any wrapping.
