A quick anecdote from my time at the house so far

Alright. I've got 18 out of 25 pages written for tonight, so this is going to be a short post.
Herein is the tale of how we had a small infestation of ants, and how I conquered them.

A few weeks back, [maybe, oh, two?] Tina decided to bring her cat here to live with us. Now, while I'm all for cats, this brought about several problems. First of all, she was not happy to be here and so 92% of the time all she did was wail, but more importantly, a colony of ants got a whiff of her food and broke into our house. I suppose "broke in" would not be as accurate as "crawled in through one of the many cracks in the wall."

Anyway, Tina tried several solutions including ant traps and putting the food up higher, but it did no good.

A few days later and up until about two days ago, the ants began coming into our kitchen from the kitchen door to the outside, and started eating our trash. Little buggers.

Well, long story short, the cat is no longer with us and the trash sits in a tall cabinet. Bingo. No more ants in my pants...let's dance.
