I've lived in all those apartments (no kitchen, windows that don't open, next to the fire station, no heat, crack house next door, etc.) Thankfully I was young and just happy to have somewhere to sleep. In my 15 years of rental history, I have walked out of 2 places. One, you could sit on the toilet and cook your dinner. The second deal breaker was described as having awesome space, natural light, great storage, pets welcome. What they failed to say was that it was in a Funeral Home. I left rather quickly. I guess we all have our thing.

After the mad crazy rains this month, the ants decided to move into my kitchen, bathroom, living room...

The sprays and poisons seemed so mean and toxic but I was on the verge...when someone suggested I try dryer sheets--like Bounce--and it worked!! The ants won't cross the dryer sheets.

I lined around the doors, around the sink, anywhere I could see them coming in. It took a few days to find their secret pathways but then finally--no more ants!! They moved out!! Don't know where they went and I don't care. Plus the house smells like fresh laundry, a bonus.
