'Wiping them out is not an option. The best you can hope for is diverting them elsewhere. We don't really control what they do.'
. For this week's installment, we're talking about ants, a lousy summer house guest and an even worse midday snack. [Warning: Graphic ant content below]
The cookies had been given to me by a talented baking friend, and I guess they'd been left on my kitchen counter overnight, wrapped in loosely-secured tin foil. I brought them to work on Thursday, then spent most of the morning looking forward to my afternoon reward. Around lunchtime, I placed the cookies on our shared desk clump, at which pointThe realization that I'd been infiltrated, that my delicious snack had already been, came moments after swallowing a medium sized bite.
And that's about all I would like to say about the workplace-ant-cookie debacle for now, and also, forever. My attempts to crush them have so far failed. Deploying bait traps on elevated surfaces seemed to work for a few days, but the ants have since returned in even greater numbers . The DIY remedies have been even less successful: I've now tried both vinegar and cinnamon, the cumulative effect being that my kitchen smells like pickled Cinnabons, which my new roommates don't seem to mind at all.. Sometimes ants are easy to get rid of; other times they're not.
