ANTS IN THE DISHWASHER

Aug 22, 2005 22 Replies

I believe you had this problem before. Here is some question: Are you positive the they are ants? Are the ants dead? If the ants are dead Try not washing any coffee related items in the dishwasher especially the filter. Have you ever pulled the dishwasher and inspected under it for any water leaks. water damage? This would indicate a leak witch could be a passage for the Ants. While the washer is out if you do see any water leak indication or if you don't go and buy a new dishwasher because if ants are getting in it there is something wrong.

You're right, JerryL. When I spoke to the receptionist for the exteminator on the phone I told her I wanted my single story gutters sprayed as well as the exterior foundation and my crawlspace. She said fine. Not any easy job but I was waiting with my checkbook. About 2 hours later this obese gentleman drove up in a 1988 Oldsmoblie carrying a tank and came to my door with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He was arrogant as hell and seemed miffed that I wanted my whole house sprayed on the FIRST trip. After he sprayed my kitchen floor and counter he told me that would be $140. I gave him a check for $75 (which was still outrageous) and told him if he had a problem with it tell his boss to call me. The guy was about 5'11" and weighed 340 lbs +. I would have paid the extra $ 65 just to see the fat bastard squeeze thru my crawlspace door. And forget about him climbing a ladder to spray my gutter. So my point is this guy was not physically able to do the job I requested when I made the appointment.
