So my attempt to murder the ants was
apparently not effective. So just as an FYI Ortho Home Defense Max is
piece of shit. Anyway, we decided the best course of action was to go
buy more poison. Better poison. Stronger poison. Because if it didn't
work the first time, it's sure to work the second!
So Scott sprayed the outside of the
mobile home again.
And there were still ants.
Which could mean only one thing.
That these are obviously super Nazi
Ants the result of years and years of careful ant breeding programs
designed to make the ant master race. This means there is only one
course of action left, we have to kill the queen. There are several
options to do this.
1. We could attempt to locate the nest
and pour poison down it.
2. We could set out even more bait
traps.
3. We could train a small but deadly
force of assassin ants to go on a covert mission to the ant hill and
kill the queen. They would be armed with tiny knifes, their wits, and
some Rambo sweat/head band things. I would also arm each with a small
about of poison bait as a suicide pill in case they were captured.
4. We could go on a brutal blitzkrieg
campaign, fire bombing most of soil around the trailer in an attempt
to dishearten the ant populace until they give up the assault on my
kitchen.
Really though, I think there's only one
real solution here. So, does anybody know where I can get ant sized
assault rifles?
This is gonna be sweet.
Are you having the dry spell we are having? Ants follow the water. I started getting ants in my kitchen, too. Sprinkle cinnamon around the drain. For some reason they can't cross cinnamon (maybe they lose the trail?) and I haven't seen one ant since I did that.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that means you have cinnamon in your sink, but that's better than ants!
Luckily this round seems to have done the trick. Although I will keep that in mind for the future. Since I love the smell of cinnamon, I wonder if I could just coat the whole kitchen? Probably be sneezing a lot though.
DeleteI used to try to sprinkle it around the rim of the counter where I had seen them. It didn't help. Then I heard they come up the pipes.
DeleteSpeaking of pipes - I just read that mice/rats are known to enter house through toilets...! I'm upset because I thought my house was well sealed against them!
DeleteAll I can say is, thank goodness the place isn't infested by a locust storm. I just read about them and whoa... now that would be bad business!
