Our house has been invaded!! The last week I have literally killed hundreds, and hundreds of tiny little ants. Because we live in a basement and it's been raining all week long, the ants are in search of a new safe place. First, it started out with one lone ant in the bathroom, then they moved to the kitchen, then the living room, then the bedroom...I've even found two ants in our BED! I think they got there because they were already on my pants from trying to kill them, or at least I hope that is how they got in our bed. ....Okay, okay, so aside from the rain (which is the real culprit), I might be slightly to blame for the invasion. Over spring break I read the book called "Eldest" and in it there is one part when Eragon (the main character) follows the life of some ants. He goes on to explain that every living creature has a soul and can feel pain. So when I saw the little ant in our bathroom, I felt a little sorry for him. I allowed him to live. The next day he was still there...and the next and the next. Eventually I felt bad for him because I figured he was super hungry. ...yeah, I felt compassion for this disgusting little creature, I even started calling him my friend and telling Nick not to squish him. Then I caved. I gave that little thing a piece of my Hershey's hug. Chocolate, smart move Kim. The next day there were a few more ants in the bathroom, I tried to explain to my little friend that he couldn't invite the other ants into the house, but he didn't listen...they kept coming. When there were about ten in the bathroom, I decided it was too much. I killed them. I squished my little friend and his pals and flushed them in the toilet. That night there was a huge rain storm, and when I woke up, our entire kitchen sink was covered in ANTS. Hundreds of ants. We killed them all and flushed them down the toilet. But that didn't stop them. Every morning I woke up to more ants all over our house. It was disgusting. We finally caved and bought a bottle of raid. We've had to use it three different times, but this morning I woke up and for once, there were no ants in our kitchen!! Hopefully this is the end of the invasion!

Uh, why on earth did you think to feed the aunt? Duh! It was a trap by the ants and now they will never leave you alone.
Ha ha, this is kind of funny, but I know how bad it sucks! Our old house had them like crazy, there were times we'd come home and the kitchen sink was black! I heard that putting cinnamon at the spot that they are originating from will help keep them away. Good luck!
