Stichin and uninvited critters

So I am sitting in my sewing room trying to decided what I want to do. Check out my emails when I look into my cup that had gatorade to discover about a dozen and a half ants feasting at the bottom of my cup. Oh man, gross out. So I sit a bit longer and watch those little buggers running on my cork board, on top of my desk and one has the stupidy to run across my keyboard. Now this is war, type, smash, type smash, stich, smash. Okay this is getting ridiculous. So I decided it was time for the ant traps. As I slap one off my neck. Ok, that was gross.

Now ants don't bother me when they want to live in their own home. When they decided to come live in mine....NO WAY!!!!! So went to Walmart and found thankfully that they had traps with just the exact amount of cash that I had. Thank goodness. Back home to try and find where they are coming in, found a hole from the cable, sealed it up, think I have one more, gotta find it. Then setting the traps about the house. I sure don't want those in the kitchen. I want the food, and I am not sharing with the ants.

Have only seen about a half dozen so far. That is a very good thing for their sakes.

We had an ants nest in front of my sewing room window that we thought we had gotten rid of, nope, I guess not cause they came to visit!!!! The snow is melting and flooding their little homes and they want mine. I do not share well with critters except for my doggies and soon to be kitties if they make it. Mama Cat had some challenges last time. Doing better this time.

So here is to trying to sew finally and no more ant invasion.......lol

Hey Carol Sue,
I found this great stuff at Walmart to get rid of ants. It's called Terro. They found that stuff in no time and after three packets (there are six to a box) and about two days later the ants were history. I am keeping that stuff handy. They eat it and take it back to the colony and that's the end of those little buggers.
I'm just glad I found something that worked.
