at war

My wife and I are currently at war. Not with our weights though because we have diet supplements for that. We have declared an all out war at the pesky ants that seem to show almost as fast as a little morsel of food falls on the floor. And not only that, one time I even saw them munching on some of the stored candles in the cabinets. It was the first time I saw ants literally devouring candles! And what’s more weird it that I saw them crawling on our cotton swabs! I mean these are clean new cotton swabs. There was nothing in it.

Armed with poisonous ant baits called Terro Ant Killer, we placed it on where ants usually pass by. The bait does not kill the ants instantly.  Instead, the ants will think of it as food and will bring it home, feeding the other ants, larvae, and queen, which will eventually kill them all. The product says that it will kill the ants in about two weeks. Once or twice a day, we refill the baits. And it’s quite fun seeing the ants taking a small piece and carrying it back home.

Now to wait!
