What are these black ants around the weeds?

I am not up to having chicken around in my yard just yet.

I guess I may try the Ortho Home Defense Max.

I too have hesitated about picking up chickens for several reasons. One, I'm not sure I want to open hunting season in my yard for my dog! Two, not sure how neighbors would take it. Plus I'm not sure about chicken droppings everywhere. My one and a half year old tends to picks small items up and stick in his mouth.. I don't want chicken droppings to be an item he eats!!!

Centipedes being my biggest concern, I'll stick with the orderless bug spray(Orthos' Home Defense Max) for the time being! Besides, I feel it's not a problem having the Ortho around my kids. Since they can't smell it, they tend not to be curious about it...unless they catch me spraying it!
