It’s a rather obvious song reference.
In Happy Valley, this is a harbinger of spring – the ants invade your home looking for food.
They swarm Sadie’s food dish (we free-feed her). A crumb from breakfast toast is descended upon immediately. Left out a knife which you used cutting last night’s pizza? Ants.
The cure? Windex. With Ammonia D (whatever that stands for…) Kills ants on contact.
Having done some seriously good leather work in the past, I just might have to build me a two-gun rig for Windex bottles.
Soft Scrub is also in the arsenal. The Ants find a crack in the grout and they invade. Soft Scrub w/ Bleach to the rescue!
The battle has been waging for nearly two weeks. I decided on a true STOMP! measure when they invaded a pan of brownies that I made this past weekend. One has to draw the line somewhere.
Me: about 30,000 or so ants. Ants: 1 pan of brownies.
I hate ants.

The ants sealed their fate when they dared to touch the brownies. No stinkin' ant is gonna eat the brownies.
ReplyDeleteI also hate ants. And Asian beetles. And earwigs. And spiders. And flies.
Ok, so I hate all insects.
Why you got to discriminate against only the Asian beetles, Grace? Racism is an ugly thing...
ReplyDeleteWe've got the ant issue kind of going on here too - though certainly not to the extent you do. Thanks for the tips on getting rid of them though, I'm sure it'll help!
ReplyDeleteBecause only the Asian beetles bite... the normal ladybugs leave me alone. And they don't stink when you smash them.
