My husband put his pizza box from last night onto the kitchen floor (only 3-4 feet from the front door) behind the trash can (vertically) since it would have clogged up the whole trash can if he'd put it in there and there were a zillion ants just now! I went to feed the cats and next to their bowls there was an ant convention going on with little limos pulling up with more and more as I watched. Luckily I've figured out that wet paper towels pick up 1/2 a zillion on each wipe :-) They hadn't gotten near any of my food or anything luckily.

Oh, the winged ones are when they swarm in the Spring. We had those in the basement of our old house a couple years until we'd lived there long enough I guess to change the patterns of how the house was used. These are just little black guys, the tiny ones that aren't too noisome as long as they don't wander into my storage cabinet. I have liquid sugar bait that makes them go away for a month or so at a time when that happens but an entomologist said we'd need an exterminator to exterminate into the ground. That sounds a bit more expensive than I care to mess with at the moment.

Must have been some amazing pizza... lol... In my last house we had a problem with teeny tiny ants coming in by the front door and I got these traps from Target... put them down and and after that day never saw another ant again. |

Oh yuck. I bit into a soda cracker yesterday and there were ants all over it. I looked in the packages, and even the *sealed* ones had ants in them. *shudders*. Bugs don't go with food. ^_^

Nah, flying ants and termites look totally different (yeah, right, to someone "that" size!) http://flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/entomo/ant...%20Termite.htm
We had "citrus ants" in our old house and the exterminator tells me this and then asks, "didn't you pick one up and smell it?" I don't think so!

Really? How unusual. I thought everyone picks up and smells the insects that crawl into the home.
Oh, excuse me-- I have to go sniff a waterbug. |
