Ants, ants, ants, ants
Posted on | December 1, 2006 | No Comments
After a few ant-plagued houses, I was quite happy to have avoided any ant infestations for our first 9 months in this house. But no longer – they found us. They’re everywhere, coming in through many of the thousands of entry points in our old weatherboard house. I vacillate between patiently setting out ant traps (to kill the nest, or presumably nestS), and not being able to stand it any longer and using the bug spray.
I took this picture of Tilda when she was playing with the flashlight, after I was using it to try to find a discernible ant trail leading to the food cupboard, where the ants had discovered that the peanut butter jar wasn’t 100% closed. (I couldn’t find the trail, so I put some traps in instead, and as of this evening there seems to be less of an ant party going on in that cupboard.)
Also, today is officially our first day of summer. And the first day of Tilda’s (surprisingly non-Barbie/Hi-5/Disney) advent calendar. As it is filled with chocolates, I will have to protect it from both ants and George for the next 24 days.
