In the May 5, 2012 Spring Home Improvement special insert, there was an error in the article Carpenter Ants—don’t let them do their work in your home. Editor Rhonda Silence assumed the submitted information was anthropomorphizing the carpenter ants by saying they were hanging around the “Queen.” Since one of our editor’s favorite hangouts is the Grand Marais Dairy Queen, she pictured happy ants plotting invasions over ice cream. The “Queen” referred to was actually the queen of the ant colony. The News- Herald sincerely apologizes for the error.
