This is a classic example of the waste going on in this county. And yes, the Joyce Dudley, from New York, does this to get HER name out there and there is no other reason. What happens is the SBDA, so overburdened with turnstile crimes is bored so they take federal and state money to subsidize their department then do things like this. She'll pipe up for any crusade that begets a few bucks for the department. Like her underground economy crusade a few years ago....how's that working out, Joyce?
No more Mr. Nice Guy !
Gel baits work. Find where they enter house and follow the line of ants. Squeeze gel bait found on Amazon and after a few weeks you will likely have killed the problem.
I think they have become more persistent and much more numerous as well (they are everywhere). Last year was a nightmare for me - I literally had swaths up and down my bathroom walls including in the shower. And this year, for the first time in 10 years, we got them at the office too. I too gave up on the "natural" approaches - they work for occasional light invasions but not what we are seeing now. Terro seems to work for me. Vinegar as well, to wipe out the pheromone trails they leave for the others. And this year, I too did the annual perimeter spray and am keeping my fingers crossed that it holds up. Might do another spray this weekend for good measure.
Terro Traps work best for me
It's a public lawsuit showing how (potentially) a local company did something really shady. Seems like news to me.
Hello,
We have been housesitting since 2009. We have a profile with Trusted Housesitter which does a background check for all its members.
Our goal is a long-term housesit (2-3 months) but we will entertain all offers. We lived in Carlsbad, CA, for a dozen years, and are currently housesitting in Santa Cruz, CA. We want to explore Santa Barbara.

The ant invasion happens every year about this time and won't let up until the first rain. We gave up on the non-toxic approach two years ago and pay the pest guy $100 to do his annual spray. We have seen almost no ants since but neighbors and family have them this year in the same numbers as always.
For a measly $6000? How much employee time was spent on this? I bet more than $6000 worth.
From what I heard, the driver didn't know what was in the load he was carrying so it took time to determine if it was a toxic material.
What is with all these "keys left in the vehicle" of stolen cars lately? I can't imagine the reason not to pull keys, it takes about a second.
These dogs and their handlers are amazing at getting their jobs done. Congratulations Ms. Jensen and Edy.
Well, maybe this will stop Amazon from lying about their products. Someone needs to bring them to task for fraudulence.
What should the former employee do if she was fraudulently put into an illegal situation? It's similar to all the sexual harassment allegations we have heard in the last couple years. Bringing it to light can bring some resolution to the issue and in this case get the woman off of illegal allegations.
Buckwheat, as much as I dislike this practice, it's not really "fraud." Fraud is tricking someone with the intent to result in some personal gain (eg, financial). This is not for personal gain. As for entrapment, I agree. They are tricking someone into committing a crime so they can bust them. Pretty low if you ask me.
Police commit fraud, i.e. pretend to be something they're not, in order to entrap people who weren't planning to break the law. I would like to know more about the person they recruited to help commit the fraud.
At least there is a scum sucking car thief off the streets..,.
RHS - only if it's a "slow" news day. You know, no leafblower complaints, sunsets, loud cars at night, insect identifications, etc..... haha! ;)
