    Ah yes we have this problem right now...they're covering the kitchen counters and they're crawling on the walls and floor.

    I need a solution as bad as you do. >_<
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Baby powder or chalk. They breath through their feet.

    I had this problem once. They were all over my bathroom...especially in my bathtub. There were queen ants in the tub too...it was pretty freaky. This happened when I was young, so it made me even less likely to take showers.

    There were thousands of them in the tub, I didn't even know why. My mom would wash them away every day, and they would come back in the morning.

    I can't offer a good solution other than poison, but just keep your house clean. Or keep the temperature cold...insects hate the cold weather, usually my house is around 70F...so it keeps them away...and even if they get inside, they usually die. Bees seem to die quickly in the cold too.

    On a related topic, my friend has these strange caterpillars at her house right now. They're very small, black, and spiney. Spiney caterpillars are BAD. What are they/what are they gonna become/how does she get rid of them? They get in her bathroom and she has to chase them down the drain.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I bought a can of Bioganic Crawling Insect Killer to kill them on contact. It has a very overpowering spearmint sort of smell, because it's made of plant oils, and it does leave an oily spot when it's sprayed, but it works very very well. I also got some baits, Raid brand, to lay out. It's the kind they take back to the nest and feed to their buddies and die die die. It's working pretty well.

    killing is wrong, we shouldnt kill bugs, unless they have infested your house.
