Well, as everyone who visited this past weekend knows, we have a big of a bug problem at the moment. Ants have infested our kitchen and front entryway. They march across the tile in search of cat food, leftovers, or dirty plates.
Mosby has been quite distressed about the competition for his food. Luckily, he scarfs it down so fast the ants don't get much of a chance to get in there.
Anyway, the Terminix guy came yesterday and broke out the chemicals. He did the whole general spray thing, but he also did some targeted things to kill the ants full stop. He's got this stuff that the ants eat and then take back to the nest. There they feed it to the queen, who promptly dies. This wipes out the entire colony pretty quickly. He also had other things he did, like traps and other poisons.
I already noticed a reduction in the number of ants this morning. I'm hoping the little buggers go away because they've been annoying us for about a month now. If they do it will be well worth the money we had to pay the Terminix guy.
