WTH is with all the ants?!
We've had the exterminator out twice and they are back again!!
Is it because of the lack of rain?!

Me too. I'm armed with a paper towel and a bottle of Clorox Cleanup almost every minute I'm awake. Freaks me out.
yep.
luckily we haven't had any at home. i had an infestation in my office though - had to buy a ton of ant baits and spray a ton to get rid of them.
It was horrible for us, also despite Terminix treatments and cleaning/sweeping/vacuuming multiple times a day. I was beginning to feel like maybe we were just slobs. DH ended up crawling around the floor and found several ant trails leading to cracks in the base boards. He caulked them to block their way, and then as a safeguard we bought this stuff called "Terro" liquid ant killer from Home Depot. He laid it out in front of the cracks and near our front and back door frames. The ants bring it back to their colony and it kills them. Honestly, they were gone in a matter of days. I can't believe how well it worked.
That was about 2 weeks ago and we haven't had them back since.
we have never had our home exterminated. when the ants come in from time to time, i set out the little baits and they seem to take care of the problem (there's no telling if we have the same kinds of ants).

Yes, this stuff is awesome. You can get it at Target too.
We put it on the outside of the door frame near the bottom hinge so the cats couldn't get to it. We did put it in one area inside the house, but then blocked it with a dresser and shoved old pillows under the points of entry so they couldn't get to it. It worked well.
Our kids are now old enough to know not to touch it, but using the above tactic should help avoid issues with a crawling baby as well. We don't have dogs, so I can't comment on that.
It's the exact same. I don't ever use borax, so I just buy the Terro liquid. I put it in the caps from water bottles or put drops directly on my counters and window sills.
