OK so I don’t mind if your in the bath room, I’ll even let you in the living room in small numbers, but you’ve done it now. That was best baking white sugar, almost a whole box full, hidden from view at the top of an inaccessible cupboard. But you bastards just walk into my kitchen, and climb without wiping your dirty feet onto the work surfaces. Then you go for the coffee machine, you don’t even fucking like coffee, but you climb onto it anyway and jump from it onto the underside of my inaccessible cupboard. Stealthily you then crawl up the kitchen wall to get into my cupboard and start steeling the sugar from out of the sugar box. It’s not just one or two of you either, but fucking millions. So I have to poison almost my entire kitchen to keep you locust feltching six legged sugar snarfing monsters from coming back again. ---

Wretched ants were making my life hellish, too. Luckily they seem to be gone now… ---

If you are referring to sweet loving ants…terro works wonders. ---

It wasn’t all the ants’ fault. I took a double handful when you weren’t looking. Sorry. ---

I find that fire is an excellent ant killer. Problem is it will burn your house down. ---

And people wonder why we keep sugar in the refrigerator. ---

They’re at it again, but this time they are after my DVD collection. An entire freeking army of them came out of the air vents walked arround the laundry basket (surely the old underwear smell would put them off, or are they pervy pants sniffers?) onto the main couch. Allong the couch then off again via the waste paper basket then accross the living room to my DVD collection. I foiled them though, as my coppies of “Them” and “A Bug’s Life” are kept safely hidden away in another location. ---

Like a previous poster recommended, use Terro. You have to be careful with it, especially if you have pets, but it really does work wonders. I helped a friend put it out when she had an ant problem, and saw how effective it could be.
