War against the Ants

For the last few months now, we've been waging a desperate battle against a horde of ants determined to overrun our home. Or at least to make themselves visible in daylight. We've tried traps, and they've failed to permanently eradicate the enemy, leading us to conclude that they must have a secret point of entry into the house. We've looked through all the cupboards, but they seem to show up most persistently in the dishwasher. Yes, in the dishwasher. Running a cycle kills them all, of course, but then more show up within hours. So today Sarah and Don took out the dishwasher while I was at school in order to have a look-see. Some cracks were patched and poison was placed, so let's hope this is the end of our ant problem.
