[QUOTE="Jenniferinfl, post: 198659, member: 37398"] They are really tiny light-colored ants and they seem to really like protein because they were all over the crickets. The fortunate thing is they were definitely coming in from outside, so at least I don't have a colony in the wall or something.. lol The diatomaceous earth has completely stopped them from even coming into the house, I just lined the window in it. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but, I don't think they'll be able to cross the diatomaceous earth that I have the feet of the cabinet sitting in. I have to say, makes me really glad that I didn't put any T's out in my sunroom. I was thinking that would be an awesome idea for summer to really grow some slings out quick. There's always random ants out there. I guess I could test it by putting the feet of my shelving out there in DE and a plate of sugar water up high and see if they make it to it. But, yeah, if I wouldn't have had a giant bag of DE, I'd have gone ahead and tried cinnamon. [/QUOTE]
