Baby Powder Everywhere....or...Ants, Ants, Ants


Let it be known...I HATE ANTS!! I cannot figure out why Moses just couldn't have stepped or swatted at a few things while he had the populations down. SIGH. When we lived in Florida, I continually fought ants in our house. We bought ant traps, ant poison, ant this and ant that. We had red ants, sugar ants and biting big black ants. I remember that was one of the GOOD things about moving. (Except finding out about the hobo spiders at the next house--but that's another story) Now in Texas--I am finding ANTS again. We have been having a steady stream of them in our kitchen the past few weeks. I keep trying different traps and hoping I have found the magic one--but not yet! THEN this morning when I went into my bathroom and flipped on the light--ANTS EVERYWHERE! The sink was covered in them, the medicine cabinet and even the toilet (is there anywhere they won't go?) I grabbed the closest thing and started spraying--which for your knowledge--hair spray is a bit messy when sprayed everywhere! Then I remembered reading ants won't cross a baby powder line--so now I have baby-powder-hairspray-ants goop in the bathroom. I guess I needed to clean it--but really, I didn't need THIS motivation! Eeeewwww!
