Somehow between a new front deck and mulch (maybe not related) my kitchen has become the local hangout for such said ants. Never had them before, and no offese zen, they still wouldn't be cute if they were wearing the hats, overalls, and hankerchiefs. They only might be more visible to me that way. But, thanks for the offer...
p.s. zen- just occured to me, are you making ant lawn ornaments??
