You know, I had a few traps left in the box and I thought I'd just try to use them up. So, I placed them up high. When I checked them, they weren't filled with ants, but a few did make it up there. However, mine were definitely field ants and they were crawling on the WALLS! so disgusting...
I'd still check with your neighbors. I really think sometimes these bug issues are cyclical and can change with the years and seasons. Or, if you are getting a ton of ants, I've heard that people can drive them away from their house and to their neighbors' by putting down pesticides. or maybe I'm getting that mixed up with cockroaches (from when we lived in Texas). I'm tired so it's possible I'm all mixed up. But I wouldn't worry about your neighbors thinking you are gross. It happens to all of us at some point.
