Friday, August 25, 2006 Ant Offensive I'm waging war against the ants that have invaded my kitchen. I don't know where they came from, but despite our best efforts, my roommate and I can't seem to exterminate them. Scott threw away a glass jar filled with brown sugar because it became infested while I was gone. (Throwing away the entire jar, glass and all, was rather excessive, though I can certainly understand his horror.) And he put the jar of white sugar in the fridge--it's an odd place for sugar, but the ants haven't found it yet, so there's some logic in the choice. Ants are persistent little creatures. You think you've eradicated them only to see a tiny army emerge as soon as you leave a cup on counter, remnants of a chocolate milkshake still hugging the bottom of the glass. Needless to say, we're washing all of our dishes immediately now, and I'm too paranoid to let just-baked cookies cool in the kitchen anymore (better to let them cool on the coffee table in the living room, a place the ants haven't discovered yet, and make smaller batches so I can eat them in their entirety). I'm probably making the situation sound worse than it is: if you were to walk into my kitchen right at this moment, the likelihood that you would see an ant is low. But leave some food out and watch them materialize. Ant traps are in order. ^ Top | 11:32 PM | | |
