tarotgalGAH!!!
I knew there was something bad about getting a ground floor (or suken in my case) apartment. I've had an ant problem for a few months now... though I've been in denial about it. I don't know where they're coming from, either. The problem has been isolated to my bathroom and I'm about 80% sure they're coming out of the drains. Ew!
I love insects, don't get me wrong. I used to have 2000 worms in my basement for years as pets. And I never kill spiders. And I'd much rather release insects into the wild then kill them, if given the chance. I can totally see myself as one of those Buddhist monks who refuses to move lest he step on an ant by mistake and kill it. However... I have much less patience for the little insects when they're in my house.
I just came back from spraying them with lysol... the little guys were all over my (now pitched) toothbrush *cringe* That's when I freak. Last time I freaked(about a month and a half ago), I came home after a day away to find a least 50 ants in my bathtub, all swarming around the drain. I went spray crazy then, too. Ug. And I can't use anything "powerful" because my cat loves hanging out in the bathroom and especially the tub/shower. Grrrr! My parents bought me SimAnt (computer game) many years back... you'd think I'd be more forgiving of the little guys after that, wouldn't you?
I'll shut up now... just hoping my recent madness will hold them off for a while.
