Ants is very small creatures and they mean us no harm, but times is though for all of us even the ants is feeling the pinch, so what do they do they invade our space.... and what do we do about them???????
My 4 year old son watched the move Antz Bully the other day for the first time, after seeing the movie a few times he notice the ants walking on the chest freezers lid,
He asked me: “ Mommy can these ants talk?”
I answered: “No, my son why?”
He responded: “ Well then I can step on them”
The ants in the movie talk and they can shrink naughty kids, but if they cannot talk, then they cannot shrink us ..... that was probably his train of thought....
Due to the extremely hot weather we are experiencing currently in Cape Town there is an ants attack / invasion.......
A Good friend is: one who do not mind having a cup of tea with you after she helped you scooped out the two lost ants from your cup of tea, that you were not able to wash out after having to clean the kettle from top to bottom before even starting to boil water for two cups of tea.
The invasion is so bad that when you want a cup of tea, you have to check the kettle first, when I opened it I was convinced that the nest was in the kettle even if there is water in.
I have to put the syrup bottle in a small Tupperware container filled with water to prevent them from getting into the syrup, there is no time in the morning rush to struggle get the syrup bottle ants free so we make a plan.
My friend reported that in her house she found them in the toilet bowl and I told her that I saw them on the toilet paper
The best story of the antz invasion is that of what happened to my teenage daughter.
She came out of the shower, run to her room, grabbed her towel that was laying on her bedroom floor for about two days. Next thing I hear she is screaming and back in the shower, I was watching her actions from the lounge.
Closer inspection revealed that the ants gathered under her damp towel, their way of keeping cool in the heat wave, she was back in the shower to was of the ants that stuck to her wet body.
Her bedroom floor was covered in ants and behind the door, where the towel was minutes before, it looked like an ant gathering to discuss their next plan for cooling down in the heat. Well guess what their next meeting place was in the dustbin as we swept the ants up after spraying them with some flea spray as the normal bug spray was empty.... Murphy’s law or what ?
Well no matter what we try the ants is here to stay so I just was the kettle every time I want to make a cup of tea for my good friends that understand as they have similar invasions being it ants or other goggas........
