Really?! How random is it that our house was egged on Saturday night...
Have you had an ant problem in the past? And it sounds to me like that's contributing to the problem. At my parent's old house we struggled with carpenter ants. We had a wood shelf outside next to the kitchen window that held the firewood. It was rotting. Once my dad took it down and threw it away the ant problem was gone. While we had it though they would get into the garbage for the egg shells. My mom had to put them down the garbage disposal because it was making the problem worse.

They are all over our backyard and I hate them!! I had no idea they were attracted to rotting wood. Our garage is pretty icky and with all the rain, I am sure that is what they are loving right now.
Anyone have any luck spraying for them outside?
We have a raid outdoor spray and you can also use diazon (sp?). We spray that all around the house and it really helps. I also recently got these things that stake in the ground and it repels the ants, I think they are made by Raid as well. Between all of that we have no more ants in the house.
