Hate them! No matter how much I do to prevent and exterminate them, they're still there! They geckos in our house are slacking big time in their job to eat all of them!
These ants aren't like the normal little black ants from back home. They're smaller, faster, and trave
l in armies to make my life miserable. Apparently they're called "Ghost Ants." This is what they look like.
They are literally everywhere. Walls, tables, counters, chairs, bed, bathroom, sinks, carpet, food-oh, and my favorite, the SHOWER HEAD!! Are you kidding me?! You're not already invading enough of my home that you feel the need to take a ride on the stream of water from the shower into my HAIR?! Augh!! You know, if this was pre-pregnancy and I had ants in my hair, I'd just be annoyed and wash my hair again. At this point, however, I totally gagged and continued to do so as I scrubbed the stupid ants out of my hair. Pregnancy makes me weird.
The other thing these little jerks do is bite me. When they're all blended in with the carpet, it's hard to see them when they're charging my feet and then bite between my toes. They bite my hands when I'm at the desk on the computer. They bite my neck when I lay on the couch. Ant traps don't work. Ant spray works for about a day.
I found an interesting fact about this little terrorists though! Their butts change color according to the color of food that they eat! So...interesting but not quite enough to make me not want to kill them. (Oh look, three are crawling on the computer screen right now! Gah!)
That's it. I'm burning my house down...Better let my neighbors know, since it's an apartment complex. :]
I heard about these little suckers! I bought some chocolates to take home with me. We just got back to the house and I was reaching back for the chocolates to bring them into the house when I was warned to just leave them in the car so the ants won't get to them. I said, "Really? Even with the plastic still on them?" He said, "Yes... even with the plastic they will still get to them." Yuck. I don't envy you at all... especially with the shower situation???! Maybe try a bit of cayenne pepper in a spray bottle with a little oil or water? I'm a little sick like that. Sometimes karma needs a little nudge.lol And I hear multi-tasking is a good idea? Your neighbors might not mind the fire as much if you mask the burning building smell with a little marinated meat? Perhaps a little dinner on the stick while the ants burn, burn, burn??? Maybe this is how the fire dance got its start... lol
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! Loma you crack me up!! They can eat through ANYTHING so they must have a hole they've eaten through my door or something! I want to just dump boiling water on them but it's harder to do that and not make a mess when they're indoors. Hahah! Yeah, I'll just invite everyone over for a BBQ while my apartment crumbles to the ground hahaha
