today's war

I come home from uni early today, hungry as hell. Picked up something for lunch on the way and burst into the house ready to eat.

Then I see the army.
The army of ants that has somehow invaded my house.
They. are. everywhere. I kid you not.
I am so angry with them right now I'm considering hosing down my kitchen just to see them struggle and squirm.

So I jumped into action; smashed a few of them, washed a bunch down the sink, then whipped out the vacuum cleaner to annihilate the ones on the floor. Then, just as an added measure, I cleared the vacuum canister so none of the ones that managed to remain alive can climb back out into my house.

THEN I found the insect spray and ant-proofed my front door (which is where they were coming from). Periodically, I see the lone ant meandering around my floor. Such ants get smashed.

They are gone, for now. I would like to think they fled out of fear. But I know they will be back the next time rain comes.

But until then...

I hate ants.
