I opened the front door this morning to find thousands of ants - the trailing and the flying kind - all up on my porch, hanging out next to the house, coming in the front door, and randomly in my windowsills and walking around on my carpet.--------------------------------------------
Side Note:
I was doing a little research on the little buggers and this was my favorite way to "kill ants without pesticides":
Finger Method
- Place finger over ant.
- Push finger firmly on ant.
- Twist and roll finger so the carcass will stick to said finger.
- Repeat if necessary.
- Wash Hands as ants are dirty.
And Remember when we used to do this as kids?:
Magifying Glass Method
- You will need a Magifying glass, any kind will do.
- Will need the sun to be out.
- Place Magifying glass at an angle between sun and ant.
- Aim the spot of light created by magnifier to be on top of the ant.
- Watch the ant fry in seconds, repeat for hours of fun.
------------------------------------
After an hour of hunting them down (I hate hate HATE the flying ones!), I think I've won. Or at least they have gone back down to whence they had come.
But beware little creatures! I am watching out for you and next time, borax will be on the menu!!
I hate ants!
