Ack! How depressing, and not just because I was hoping for some of those
_androyensis_ babies.
I've had very good luck stopping, though not killing, Californian ants with
something called Anti-Ant---basically a liquid teflon goop that forms a
slick strip they can't climb across. I get it from KV Vet; I'm not sure
who makes it. I've been told it doesn't work on fire ants (they build
bridges), but thankfully we don't have 'em. Yet. (It keeps fruit flies
from climbing *out* of tanks, too.)
