Step 10Accidental Ant Trap Freezer

Accidental Ant Trap Freezer
Our kitchen used to have an ant problem.
Then some ants found the freezer. There must have something in there that smelled really good to ants. The ants walked in through little gaps in the gasket and froze. It took a few weeks for all the ants to find their way there. Most of them froze just inside the gasket and piled up right there.
Now we don't have an ant problem any more.

Some ants actually taste pretty good, many are quite spicy as a matter of coarse. Though the little black ones pictured here taste nasty. Don't ask. lol
