  • Ants lying in Windex.

ANTS? Easy, Safe Solution!

An exterminator told my friend that when you begin to see ants, they are the scouts. Stop these and you won't have ants. My son discovered that if you spray them with Windex (or any other glass cleaner), they are exterminated. Keep after it for a while and you won't have ants. We have used this for years. 2 days ago our humming bird feeder leaked onto the concrete front porch...the liquid got down in the crack between brick and concrete so there was not way to flush it out. Ants ...»
appeared quickly, I sprayed them with Windex. Watched through the day and kept spraying them. Now ant free! Safe for kids, pets and environment! It is worth a try before you spend hundreds.

  • A simple solution that makes life easier!  Plus it makes my toaster look cute, if that is even possible!
  • I measured my toaster and cut bottom piece about 1/2 inch bigger on all sides. Then I cut 1x2's for side pieces.
  • After sanding, I glued and nailed the whole thing together.
  • I stained it a dark walnut and used an old dog toy strap for handles.  They were nailed on using upholstery tacks.
  • All done!  And super classy!
  • And here is my new toaster tray sporting my toaster in the cupboard, and guess what, catching all the crumbs!!!! 1
