Seattle ants be all like “Nice house you got there… would be a shame if we moved in.”

Our spring in Seattle has been cherry blossoms, longer days, and ants crawling thru baseboard cracks like they’ve got our door code.

We’ve been dealing with a steady trickle inside and decided to experiment beyond the usual.

What we’ve been trying this time

• tbsp peanut butter
• tsp borax
• Mix of a dash honey + water
• On wax paper

Spring ants are feeding protein to their brood. The brood produces sugar that the workers eat. So instead of luring them with sugar directly, you Trojan Horse the protein.

Honestly feels like running a tiny ant psyop in my kitchen.

What’s actually worked for you in Seattle homes (especially older ones)?

Caulking/sealing tips that don’t turn into a full renovation?

Anyone just fully given up and named their colony?

Bonus points for pics, horror stories, or pro tips.

And for the “ants are important!” folks, we agree. Just hopin they can be important… outside.
