I have ants. Lots of ants. How the hell did I get ants?!? As in, last night just before going to bed, there must have been 30 of the fuckers running train on the kitchen floor. It looks like they're camping out in the gap beside the dishwasher. I have no clue at all where they came from or why they decided to make an appearance all of a sudden, but I put down a bunch of liquid ant traps before bed. We've had ants on the deck before that have tried to get in through the sliding door, but a few spritzes of indoor/outdoor ant spray took care of them. This morning the kitchen looks like the killing fields... probably 60 ants dead on the floor, and a few big workers hauling the bodies off into the gap beside the dishwasher. I'll let them clean up the bodies and take all that poison back to the nest... but holy fuck this came out of left field. In other news, I'm really kind of amazed at how engrossing it is watching ants.
If Five-Finger Death Punch is the headliner for an all-day concert, was does that say about the bands opening for them?
welp...it's my birthday...35 this year, which means Mother Nature wants to make sure my commute is truly fucked... https://www.kwqc.com/content/news/Flood-of-2019-surpasses-Flood-of-93-levels-509386841.html this morning I drove through over a foot of water.....I drive a 99 toyota Camry....
Laugh if you will, but FFDP is not bad in concert. I am getting too old to be in mosh pits, however. I saw Killswitch Engage last weekend and I was sore for a couple days.
Happy Birthday... and good luck with the flooding. It seems like everything around my place is flooding like crazy too. Luckily I live on relatively high ground.
Nett, try and get yourself some OptigardAnt gel bait (0.010% Thiamethoxam). Not that I would have any, but I hear it's very effective of other things don't work.
You probably can't get it outside of the south, but Ortho fire ant poison does a number on ants. Just a couple sprinkles wipes out a whole colony. I don't think I'd use it in the house though, that shit smells like brain damage.
As of today there's not a fucking ant in sight. It's almost surreal. Have to say, the Terro liquid ant baits I picked up off Amazon did an amazing job. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B014H8NZ7U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ants were swarming the baits within 10 minutes of putting them down, and by the next day, all the dead bodies were gone and we didn't see an ant anywhere. Well, maybe 1 or 2 off in the distance, but nowhere near the 50+ we had crawling around the kitchen floor. All within 24 hours. Colour me impressed.
Oh, yes, if you haven't had trouble with them before, Terro will work just fine for a couple years. Favorite this thread for if you're still in that house in two years.
I can’t decide whether to be impressed or concerned that this random forum I used to post my ass on in my early twenties is not only still a thing, but having a lively discourse on nuking fire ants. Carry on.
