<< When the latter start making declarative statements about what the
 former must do or not do I get nervous. For instance, it is very
 possible to use a poison to kill one insect without killing others, it
 just takes more care. But some folk don't want you to use 'poisons' so
 they use extremist propaganda to try to scare you.
         The truth is somewhere in the middle as Toni pointed out. I would
use
 Boric Acid on the ants. Use it sparingly and clean it up when you are
 done. Boric acid -is not- poisonous in any reasonable dose. But like
 oxygen, too much is a bad thing. It's pharmacutical use is as an eye
 wash! Try that with Garlic Tea! >>
