Friday, June 6th – Many dead bodies later, a
glass of wine and a visit from my wonderful “pest guy” and the herd has quieted
down. Kevin did a major spray outside and down in the basement last night. They
are still popping up here and there but he said that is expected.
He even sprayed the Oak tree by the study window and it may be the cause of the
invasion. Some of its branches are resting on the house. I made an appointment for next Tuesday,
no more oak tree, bye bye. The tree is in bad shape anyway.
Kevin even sprayed the electrical, phone/TV cable wires coming
into the house. It seems that is one of the many niffy ways for ants to come in
to your home. Of course, they must climb the telephone pole which must take hours
and hours before they hit the wire. High wire aerial act, would you ever have
thought?
Saturday, June 7th – News Bulletin: More reasons
why I hate ants. I found one crawling up the side of my Mr. Coffee machine.
Another was calmly walking across our check book on the kitchen table.
ENOUGH!!!
Sunday, June 8th – Still killing the suckers, go
away NOW.
Monday, June 9th – Every time I go into the
study to work another pesky ant shows up. Yuck – I just killed another one. They
are much easier to catch as they are moving slower and seem sluggish, so
hopefully the spray is kicking their little old butts.
Wednesday, June 11th, will be the one-week anniversary of
the invasion. By the two-week anniversary may this whole ordeal be just a
distant memory.
