For cripe's sake!

In the 5 minutes that have passed from the last post, 20 more ants came in.

It's like they know they other ones are missing and they've sent out a search party. Which I guess means I should just let them alone to find out there's nothing to eat anymore and they can go back and say, "Hey, let's go to some other house." But I have no faith. I want them gone now.

I have this image of me, sitting by my kitchen door all night with the vacuum at the ready, just waiting for the damn ants to crawl in. I have to vacuum them. They walk through Windex like its air. Now I've cleaned the whole area where the sugar was (this is three times now) and this time I left the soap all over the counter and the doorstop and along the trail they were using. That should deter them, right?

I will not let the ants take over my life.

Maybe I'll just turn the light in the kitchen off now and deal with this in the morning.
