Under Attack

“DIE, YOU LITTLE SUCKERS!”

Kaelin issues the battle cry, while I commence rolling over the little demons with the sticky lint brush.

It’s true - we are under attack.  The ants have taken over our kitchen and no amount of Terminix visits seems to bring their population under control.  Apparently the insides of our walls are teeming with them, and being thwarted only makes them more determined to find new ways to breach the wall into our kitchen.  We have baited the light switch outlet and the electrical outlets, and treated the yard and border of the house.  This morning Jens had to caulk a pore-sized hole near the window that they were using as the Mont Blanc Tunnel.

Up to this point, the unrelenting ants have been a moderate nuisance.  But today I have run out of patience.  As of today, this is WAR and I will not be defeated.
