EEP!

Got up this morning at 4:45 as I'm covering for one of the girl's at work.  Working 6:30 to 3, which is kind of nice.  However, I had a headache when I woke up, and when I went into the kitchen to grab some water to take my meds, I wasn't quite all with it.  Which is why it took me a moment to realize the counter was covered with ants!

I am very proud that I did not scream.  I did, however, get the hell out of there, took my shower, and then went back in there and killed the little fuckers.  Then I spritzed the entire counter and cabinets with salt water.

Tonight I need to go to the store and get some cinnamon oil to sprinkle around the place.

Ants, I will not let you win!!

What a way to start the day! I find that Lemon Pledge is an awesome ant killer/deterrent.

I had never heard of that! I will totally have to try that.

I got some ant bate and used a squirt bottle filled with soap and water, and that seems to have worked so far. Fingers crossed!

Good luck! Yeah, it's getting warmer outside and we've had sugar-ants show up in three places so far - I need to buy more of those little ant-bait hotels, they seem to work pretty good. I've never used cinnamon oil for that, I'm intrigued now and may give it at try, that would smell nice too.

I went and got some ant bate hotel things myself, just to be on the safe side. I couldn't find any cinnamon oil, so I used peppermint instead. This morning when I woke up there were only a few ants on the counter, so I'm considering it a win!

One day they will eat us all alive :) We have moles over here. I fear... I fear they will take over the world pretty soon... :)

Ick! I hate insects and creepy crawlies. I think you're right, one day they're going to take over.

I think I have made successful headway in the war. We will see what tomorrow brings, but for now I'm cautiously optimistic!

I do, too! I'm hoping I can prevent anymore from coming, but I have a few more tricks up my sleeve before I give up. I will not be defeated by their disgusting little black bodies!
