Got ants? Blogger get rid of it with baby powder.
All you need to do is figure out where the little buggers are coming in at, and sprinkle a baby powder firewall. Ants that are already in your house will lose their scent trail, get lost, and
eventually die; ants that are trying to come into your house won’t be able to crest the mountain of white.
Just as an aside, I’ve also made this work with lemon-scented cleaner; apparently ants hate that lemony fresh smell. What are some ways you’ve gotten rid of ants? Thoughts to comments or to tips post here.

I am sure everyone knows about the online word-processing and sharing tool Writely and Google’s recent acquisition of the Writely company. The good news is that this will likely mean increased functionality and support for the services the Google has taken over. The bad news was that they had closed down the creation of new accounts temporarily.
Now after more than 6 months, today they have announced they have re-opened for registration. So, log in and sign up with your Gmail a
ccount to create your writely account. I have been using writley for a while, and I find it very useful. But, like all other Google services, this one also still in beta. Only twist is that, there is a poll in Writely asking for you to vote, on their beta status.
Next goggle’s targets may be an online spreadsheet or presentation tool so if you want to be the cool kid on the block, we recommend signing up for some of the likely suspects featured here on : NumSum and Thumbstacks. The Web-based spreadsheet tool iRows could also be a target. Writely
NumSum, Thumbstacks, iRows
Might as well signup and create a account for you in above Web based services, before Google takes over them.
