For the past few days there have been ants in the house. One here. Another there. Pretty much your typical spring where a few bugs get in the house. No big deal.
That all ended this morning when it became a big deal. A very big deal.
I opened the cupboard to get Ian some Cheerios for breakfast. As I pored them into his cup (he eats them dry from a little Dixie cup) I spotted the first of them. Ants in the cupboard.
There were everywhere! Inside the cupboard, on the cans in the cupboard, INSIDE some of the cereal boxes in the cupboard!
(Don't worry, I took the cup of Cheerios away from Ian at this point.)
I pulled every last item out of the cupboard this morning at 6:30am, squashing ants as I went. I ended up with an entire trash bag full of food they had gotten into.
At first I was taking the bags from the cereal boxes and recycling the box and tossing the bag and its ant infested contents. Then I opened a brand new box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and there were so many ants crawling out of it onto my hands that I gave up and just tossed the rest of the packages.
It was horrible, and not anything I wanted to do at 6:30am in the morning! I still feel like there are ants crawling on my hands and arms. Yuck!
The ants might have won this battle but I will win the war! They are going down!
(On a little side note: if Ian was ever to learn a bad word, it was probably from me this morning. I really told those ants where to go. Oops!)
