why is there a damn ant in my house?

[fizzgig]

and where the hell did it come from?

it's 12 degrees outside. it really hasn't gotten much above freezing a whole lot over the last six weeks. i haven't had problems with ants (or even seen one inside) for over a year and a half.

but there the little bastard was, trundling across the bathroom floor.

in case anyone cares :P

1. stomp his ass

[fizzgig]

3. i can't bring myself to do that

i don't like to kill things...unless it's skeeters...or flies

2. I had a couple this week also...

I always do in the winter for some reason. :hi:

[fizzgig]

5. i wonder where they are hanging out

but i don't really care enough to go hunting for them

:hi:

8. In your walls most likely...

but don't be too concerned unless you get a lot of them. I have had them for years, but they are more of an annoyance than a problem.

You may try some "ant gel" that you can get at Home Depot. That took care of mine for quite awhile.

Carpenter ants, on the other hand, can cause problems, but I'm sure it is not them.

9. i guess i'm just so amazed they can live in my house

my hands go damn near numb sometimes it's so cold

i just sprinkle cayenne pepper along the baseboards...it takes care of them pretty quickly

4. That is the advance scout, beware of letting it get back to the tribe in your wall.n/t

6. i know

but i don't want to squash it :(

7. "Hey lady, got any rubber tree plants?"

10. Maybe the ant has high hope.

I am trying to think how the song goes.

[fizzgig]

11. nah

i know there's some sort of reference there, but i'm pretty dense

12. You're not dense, you're young.

14. Better than mice.

Some poor confused mouse was walking around in my bathroom last night. It seemed to have lost its hiding place.

I was coming out of the shower when I saw it. My dog just walked around after it, sniffing. Of course, my cat was nowhere to be found.

Is he all up with disease?
