Remove the temptation by keeping everything as clean as possible. In my experience, ants eventually give up and move on to greener pastures. We have to empty our dog’s dish before we go to bed every night, if there’s anything in it. If we happen to forget one night, it’s no problem, but any longer and the scouts will bring in the army.

RenParticipantLike that show “my house is worth what?” They’ll have a “real estate expert” (agent) pull really specific numbers out of thin air, such as spending $10k to finish a basement will add $15k to the house’s value.
We’re addicted to them anyway, just because it’s fun to see some of the houses and decor. It’s also good to remind us of why we live in San Diego, like when we see a house in the south with mosquito netting surrounding the pool.
I recently saw one of those “flip that house” shows with an especially ignorant agent. After the remodel, she told the flippers they could now list the house for something like $850k-$900k. It seemed like they were just out to film the happy flippers’ faces. When the credits rolled, it turns out that it sat on the market for 6 months and finally sold for $740k, and altogether they lost $130k.

RenParticipantI met someone like that at a party over the weekend. She bought her house in east Oceanside in 2005, paid an outrageous amount, and thinks that it will be “back up in 5 years” to that astronomical figure (it’s dropped at least 40% since 2005, I found out later). She has also convinced herself that property on the coast hasn’t gone down and won’t go down.
It’s not surprising that some people are in denial – it’s easier than admitting to a monumental mistake. Pointing out the facts just makes them defensive and even hostile, so I don’t bother.
