The ant situation has now become ridiculous. They have been seen in both upstairs bathrooms now, evidently coming up the intake pipe for the toilet initially. When we sprayed and blocked those up, they continued to come in. In the hall bathroom they are actually coming out from under the top of the tile around the bathtub.

I checked outside this morning and see there is a large pile of dead leaves on that part of the roof that abuts with the side of the house that is the bathroom wall. Noting the number of flies up there, there is a good chance there are also ants up there, getting at the rotting leaves or, worse, something that died on the roof. I wouldn't put it past the feral cats in the neighborhood to have killed a squirrel up on our roof. Possibly the ants are getting in under the siding. There is also a tree branch touching the roof; they could be very well running up the branch, onto the roof and thus under the siding.

I got really fed up yesterday when I found them in the mailbox...I can see we have our work cut out for us tomorrow.
