In a fit of cleanliness yesterday morning I emptied the dishwasher and put in the dirty dishes. I even wiped up the counter.
Foolishly, I disregarded the piece of fruit peel in the sink.

When I got home early Thursday (Adam has strep, another post…) I discovered that ants had discovered the fruit peel and had sent a small battallion to take over my sink.

I cleaned up, sprayed kitchen cleaner everywhere and squished about 250 ants. I didn’t see any for the rest of the night and was relieved. We were sure to clean up after dinner last night, except for one small piece of shredded cheese.

As I was getting breakfast ready for Adam they were back surrounding the cheese! I put cleaning into high gear, pulled the stove out, wiped the grease off the wall behind it, wiped down all surfaces and put all the food away.

And still they come, although fewer now than earlier. I squish ‘em as I see ‘em.

I HATE ants.
