So although I was impressed with all their hard work......I got out the vacuum and sucked it all up. I really did feel bad about it though.
Then I laid traps.......they seem to be working (mostly).
So.....now I just have to get rid of the mice in the garage that seem to be able to take peanut butter off the traps without being snapped in half.
Good times!
I don't think I will know what to do with myself once the infestations over (if they ever are)!

Hang in there Melanie. We had Ants in our house in Lehi one summer and it took a couple of weeks to get rid of them all. Dang insects! As far as your mice problem...get a cat. :)
Here's a tip that so far has worked for the ants in our apartment. Feed them cornmeal. Apparently, the ants eat the cornmeal but they can't digest it so they die. I went from sweeping up 20 ants when I sweep/50+ when I vacuum "their area" to none in a matter of days. Like I said, it's working...so far...
I can't say I have the mice problem, but I feel you on the ants. I bought traps and sprayed with bug killer on all the baseboards and entrances and thresholds. I agree with the Larsens. Maybe you should get a cat. We lived right next to fields in WV, all of our neighbors had, at some point, had mice. We NEVER did. They can smell a cat a mile away.
I hope your infestation ends soon! Love ya!
With the mice, there is little poison nuggets to buy that you put out, they eat, they die. It comes in a variety of packaging. There are also sticky traps. Or just get a good mouser cat.

You crack me up! I have no advice, but Sheena's sounds good...
ooh Yuck! I don't know how your doing it, I once had one mouse and I killed him within minutes of seeing him and then we've had fruit flies from some forgotten bananas that seemed to never go away, but never ants. Good Luck!
ugh, that reminds me of when we moved here. I thought I was going to lose my mind. But we have been ant free for a couple years now. HOORAY, there is hope.
Reminds me the Wrigley apartments one year when we had ants so bad! Everytime I would get the shower I had hundreds of friends with me. I guess they were the ants that like moist decomposing wood-don't know why they liked my bathroom?? Would you?
