I'm not big on anything with more than 4 legs. But I'm allergic to ant bites, so i REALLY hate ants! And the ones we have in our yard right now are big enough to carry off a dog, should they decide they wanted to recruit. I keep expecting to hear a knock on our door, to find an ant wanting to speak to the landlord about the living conditions. I've sprayed the yard several times, and it seems like it just causes the ants a mild irritation, then proceeds to act like a steroid. They get bigger every time I spray, I swear! Now I go out there, they've got Casino Night going on, a disco ball and a work out room!
