OT- More ants than usual this year

[Extra Point]

I am seeing a lot more ant nests outside this year then ever before. Do you guys notice more ants this year and do you have luck with the ant baits? Which baits do you use?

I feel like its the opposite. By now we have usually had our annual kitchen infestation I feel like and this year we havent gotten it yet.

I haven;t seen as many stink bugs this year. Perhaps the brutal winter froze some insects out.

I definitely have more ants in the yard. I've been trying to spot-treat the ant hills, but it seems to not be working. I think I'll just nuke the whole damn thing with liquid Sevin.

Searching youtube it looks like there is a cheap effective ant bait using borax:

Why care about an ant hill out in the yard? I just leave them alone.

I can confirm far more anthills, and far fewer stink bugs at my residence.
