We used Terro. Great stuff. They sip it and take it back to their nest and it kills them all. We were totally infested. We were keeping our food in the dishwasher and fridge- no other places were safe. Now, we grab the Terro if we see a single ant invader. We don't ever want them again.

Well, most carrot cakes are really good. <br />As for the ants, sugar ants have been a problem over the years and I was told by one exterminator that they come in looking for water. They are a nuisance. But better than mice which have found their way into the basement. The exterminator thinks he found a spot under the siding where they are getting in. Trouble is, I live on an open field and wetland, and there are just too many critters. Next move is to a high rise, lol.<br />I aged a rib roast a couple of times in my fridge - one of my culinary instructors told me how to do it. I am not a beef person, but my boys like it. I just hate cutting off the outside and throwing it away after spending so much money. Hope you enjoy your fresh turkey.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.com
