We have a few ants in our bathroom (how I have no idea).  My husband bought those little ant traps and put them on the floor.   Is there any risk if I accidently touch one (wash hands right after) or what about just having them in teh house?

I am 32.5 weeks so not sure if that matters, but I would think it was ok to have and as long as I was not opening them up, touching and moving around, or inhaling it would be fine, but thought I would ask if anyone knew for sure.

I'm pretty sure they are fine.  My dog actually chewed through one and when I called the vet, they told me that the amount of actual poison in it is so low that it wouldn't even hurt my dog.  They just put something like peanut butter or something in order to attract the bugs (and the dogs I guess!) I'm on a hunt to find out if bug spray is ok for pregnant women!

Dh and I were getting ants coming in from our backyard so we put a little bit of dry cornmeal right by the door and they were gone in less then a week. Haven't seen them sense and this was over a year ago. Not sure if that's something you've tried/heard of but it works great!

They're fine to use ... I wouldn't lick it though! We have them too ... ants are a sign of spring though ... I guess summer is truly on its way!
