Yesterday I decided to spend some time in the millions of flower beds around this house. They have all been left to grow over for god knows how long, so I was just ripping everything that looked weedish out.
I uncovered some snazzy stone work under the layers of dead stuff, so I was happily cleaning it all up when all of a sudden I felt a bit tickley on my leg. I looked down and found I was being swarmed by ants. Not just a few ants... probably every ant on the planet.
This is where I would like to say that I calmly handled the situation, unfortunately I'm not so calm when I'm being swarmed by ants... In between running far away, jumping around like a crazy person and swearing like a sailor I managed to rip my clothes off and kill all the ants that had managed to crawl into my hair (yes, by repeatedly slapping myself on the head).
When I had calmed down enough to survey the situation (apparently the stone work is in the middle of a friggen huge ant hill), I realized how crazy I looked (jumping around, yelling and slapping yourself in the head are not 'friendly' qualities) I realized just how lucky I am to live in the country where there are no witnesses.
I now have a deeeep hatred for ants, and a new vendetta --- to track down every one of those little bastards and make them pay. Now, the only question is, do I go with a commercial ant killer or do I unleash hell on them with gasoline and a match on top of their stupid hill???
I'll be sure to post pictures of the carnage...

Gas and a match!
And I say that as a spider is crawling across my desk...sick!
I would have loved to see that... ha-ha! (I would have had the same reaction too) I would personally go with the gasoline... just make sure that Nyla is far away safe in the house... or better yet at someone else’s house!!
ohhh poor you!!!
raid killer spray works incredible well... so well that years after i sprayed .. they still died when passing through my house.. (actually it was kinda creepy how well it worked)
ants... grrrr stomp them Anita...
ants are second on my hate list of pests..mice still being first.
On a good note at least you know the ants were there!! Cause when people tell you they're not there you have a whole other problem! You do know they were there don't you Anita. :*>
I've decided to do a mixture of fire and traditional ant killer. It sounds beastly, but I'll lure them out of their stupid hill with the ant killer stuff, then when they all feel safe and happy I'll roast them.
I found 2 more mongo huge hills...
I have to wait til it gets a bit warmer now.
I'm actually going to wait til Kelsey and AJ are here. I'll make them do it and take pictures when they are inevitably swarmed by these blood thirsty bastards.
PS: ADAM... sure I know the ants were there... yeah, I'm almost completely positive anyway... well, maybe it was just my freckles...
