When Ants Attack

After surviving the ant attack on Saturday when we discovered more of the dirty, little fellows scurrying across our kitchen floor Kevin sprayed the outside of the house. Kevin proudly told me on Sunday how he had sprayed the ground the whole way up their trail and under the siding.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Apparently, he trapped the ants and the the only place they now had to go was up...and into our kitchen. Last night as I was talking to Kevin's sister on the phone and discussing our ant problem I walked over to the kitchen window to discover ants trailing out from under the window frame across the wall and into the spice cabinet. They were crawling all over our cereal and tea. Gagging was definitely an option at this point.

Kevin ran off and started brandishing his can of Raid upon his return (his weapon of choice). He killed all of the ants and probably ruined any chance of using this cabinet for food in the near future.

We had bought "Terro" recommended by a co-worker of mine, but it's time to call in the big guns. I'm off to call the exterminator.
