This is precisely the problem we are having right now!BedokAmerican wrote:Another thing, consider budgeting for monthly pest control if you see one ant. Where there's one, there are more. Ant problems are common, even on high floors in new luxury condos. We tried doing stuff ourselves with sprays and other products, but the ants would be back the next day. Seriously, cut open a piece of fruit and the ants appear out of nowhere. Pest control was one of the best investments we made, in my opinion. It costs about $900-$1000 per year.
I gave my 2.5yr old an old spatula and let her run around whacking them. It keeps her entertained for hours (and isn't a TV/iPad/iPod) and (very) slowly solves the problem.JR8 wrote:This is precisely the problem we are having right now!BedokAmerican wrote:Another thing, consider budgeting for monthly pest control if you see one ant.

Every time I think I've identified what is bringing them in, and laid bait-traps, we seem to get a days respite, then they're back. Very frustrating!
7am this morning saw me trying to figure out if they were somehow coming in via the sink overflow!
The iTunes stores outside of the USA are a pale imitation of the US version.

Good ideas! I'd also add get a Kindle and iTunes account set up - you can't download music/vids with a Singapore address or C/C.
Thanks that's what I've been trying to say.... I know others may be working around this via VPN or whatever but there is NO decent iTune store outside the US/UK/Australia IME.scarbowl wrote:The iTunes stores outside of the USA are a pale imitation of the US version.

Not even a VPN, just a US Billing address and a credit card that is either A) from a US bank or B) does not verify the billing address when being charged (like an Amex).PNGMK wrote:Thanks that's what I've been trying to say....
