Hmm. Yesterday, there were ants crawling about quite actively on the bathroom floor, and there seemed to be a fair number of them going into the little plastic Ant Take-Out Restaurants of Death I put out the other day, although I couldn't really tell if they were taking any of the poisoned bait out with them or not. Since sometime last night, though, I have seen a grand total of one ant, and there has been no more dirt-piling activity around their little hole in the baseboard. I think... maybe I got them? Huh. It seems almost anti-climactic.
(Yes, yes, I know. ANTi-climactic. I'm sorry. It wasn't even really intentional. Mostly.)
[Update: No, I've seen a couple more tonight. Still no more building activity, though. Either they're dying off, or they're done renovating.]

We put those little death hotels out, along with fresh whole cloves and our ant invaders took off somewhere else. They no like the cloves apparently.
ReplyDeleteI haven't put out cloves, just the death hotels. I don't want them to go elsewhere, since it would likely be elsewhere in my house. I want them to die! I did see one ant that was looking rather ill last night...
ReplyDeleteLying on its back, waving its legs feebly in the air, with a cold compress on its forehead and a trash can full of used tissues next to it?
ReplyDeleteSomething like that. :)
