I usually have them at bay, and they stay outside. Full scale war results if they don't. If they remain outside, I don't bother them. I had hoped they would learn, over time. There are so many "B" words of note and relevant. Bumblebee might be a good one, but I have another B word in mind.

I am surprised they climbed up so high and surprised we have never seen one since. Years ago we used little tin dishes with Ant Rid in them.
