So I'm stuck with more contemporary ant remediation options, which suck pretty badly. In the past I've tried the little black plastic gadgets with gobs of poisoned peanut butter in them. They seem to work, but only after months of patient watchfulness — I think it amounts to ant asbestos, only manifesting its deadliness ant-years after the initial exposure, and well after they've already produced offspring. I suspect that it's actually a breakdown in ant society caused by skyrocketing healthcare costs that makes the stuff work at all.
