Invasion! Again!
Feb. 23rd, 2009 08:33 pmAt least now I've figured out how they're getting in...
The ants have invaded once again, this time deciding to take over my entire kitchen. It is just disgusting.
And I've found out how they're getting in. There's a very small gap in the window frame on the other side of the house, and they're crawling through there, having an expedition across my entire carpet, and climbing around with glee over every inch of my kitchen bench, floor, rubbish bin, stove, sink, and cat biscuits. (I actually lost half a packet of perfectly nice cat bikkies, because those wretched insects had decided to make a home in it.)
Once more, I have spread Ant Rid all over the place. Which they are lapping up with great enthusiasm.
No seriously - you have not lived (in insect invasion terms) until you've seen ants no only standing on each other's shoulders so that they can all fit into the same poisoned-honey-drinking space at once, but actually standing on top of the ants who are already standing on top of other ants. Because they're just that eager to get to the honey.
Yep. That's three layers of ants. On top of each other. All cheerfully trying to get poisoned as much as possible.
Some of the top layer actually tipped off the shoulders of the ants beneath them, landed in the Ant Rid drops, and drowned. I feel no pity for them whatsoever.
Anyway... like I said, I've found out how they're getting into my house. And I have plans to block up the gap.
But if I block it up right now, I will strand approximately 3000 ants inside my house. That would be bad. And really really gross.
*sighs and avoids kitchen*
