....and they don't know they'll soon be dead hoorah! hoorah!
A couple weeks ago I noticed a few ants here and there in my kitchen, and I started seeing at least a few at a time consistently since then and saw them coming out from some floorboards in the storage closet by my kitchen, so yesterday I bought some ant traps and set two in my closet and two in my kitchen. They have poisonous bait within them, and the ants are drawn to it, and take some of it back with them to the queen ant, wherever they live. Then they all start dying one by one, hoorah.... AND THE ENTIRE COLONY IS DESTROYED MUAHAHAHA. Anyway this morning when I woke up and went to make my much-needed coffee, I saw lots and lots of ants in a line going to and from one of the traps. At first I admired them for their communication and never-ending work hours, then I sniggered to myself and said to them, "Little do you know..." then felt a little bit evil. It's tempting to squish them all as they trek across the tile floor, in easy destroying vicinity, to save them from suffering from the poison, and to save me from having to see this infestation in clear view, where I cook and eat, but I'm pretty sure that that traps will only work if they are consistently taking the bait to their home, and lots of it. I hope that they'll start dying soon, because I'm not sure how long I can stand to see yucky little creatures in the area where all my food is.
The second story of my day is that I got an estimate on my car finally, and will be taking it in to get fixed on Tuesday. This weekend I am going to visit my brother, and we're going to the UNM-NMSU game. Battle of I-25. Dun dun dun. Both teams kinda suck this year, so it will be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing him.
Have a great Wednesday!

Are the ants gone? I have an ant problem too. They LOVE my kitchen because apparently sometimes I miss a spot or two after I clean up from making a cake.
Yep, they were all gone after only a few days. I just bought a pack of four ant traps, for about $3. I don't remember the brand, but it wasn't even Raid and they worked great.
