We have what we refer to as sugar ants, or piss-ants in our kitchen. They
appear to be coming out of the trim around the window over the kitchen sink,
and they parade down in and around the sink and counters early in the
morning, usually. Someone suggested spraying them with a mixture of
dishwashing detergent (Dawn) and water and that does kill them instantly,
upon contact. But they send out reinforcements the next day.

Anyone have a solution or suggestion that is safe to use around the kitchen
counters/ food prep areas?

Warren
