problem

Tuesday  around lunchtime  Mystie

You know you have an ant problem when you sweep and half your pile instantly begins to crawl away.

2 vociferations follow:

    Auggggggghhhhhhhh!! I didn’t think the Tri-Cities had ant problems. I thought it was because the winters were too cold. Living in CA where ants abound and in Hawaii where their numbers only rival cockroaches…….I HATE ants. Hate, Hate, Hate! I have lived places that they are so bad that you have them blanketing the carpet. Ewwwww! I was so used to keeping cereal in the fridge that it took me years to remember to put it in a cupboard instead. I will pray your battle is short-lived!

    We had fun playing cards the other night!

    I think of ants more as minor annoyances. I get creeped out by icky bugs, but I’ve never thought of ants as icky. Ants seem more “clean” than other bugs; they are orderly and industrious. Anytime I see a bunch of them I think “Well, I am sure glad I don’t have to deal with cockroaches.” Lately a few earwigs have gotten inside and surprised me while moving things in the kitchen. Ick! I would rather have a swarming mass of ants than one earwig. :)

    Beware to the wandering ant. If Jaeger sees a scout ant scurrying along the floor, he says, “Bug, mom!” and begins stomping, trying to squish him but generally taking 5 attempts to do so. :)
