ANTZ!
Not the movie, real ones, invading my new home π
First they attacked the kitchen. I fought numerous rounds with the buggers over several weeks. I like ants in general and find them fascinating, but when they won't take a hint and start covering *everything*, this means WAR π‘
Finally I gave up using the non-toxic stuff, went to Home Depot and got some Hot Shot Ant Bait Traps for a couple of bucks. Put two down in the line of their trail, and waited. First they ignored them except for one or two brave souls. The next day though they were in them like college kids in the local In 'N Out Burger. Third day, gone! π
Fourth day (today), they showed up on my desk, which is in my bed/sitting room, at the opposite end of the house π. Can't see where they're getting in -- not from any of the windows or the door. Can't trace their trail past my desk because the carpeting's this brown and off white low shag.
I've taken one of the kitchen traps, put it on my desk, and am hoping for the best. Which means the worst for them.
What do you do when you've got an ant invasion?
