Ants

Ants, do not invade my clean warm kitchen, please, For I fear you are carrying some dreadful, exotic disease When you find tiny cracks through which to squeeze, My use of deadly pesticides will exponentially increase! Written January 29, 2022

I am amazed at how liquid a mouse can get when there is a tiny crack too!

Indeed! They can squeeze their way through a keyhole! Well, maybe not that, but they can come through a crack fairly easily. I don't like outside critters in my home. I do enjoy an inside cat or dog, however.

Just put away your sweets and other delicious desserts from the counter, and that should be a sign for them to leave your kitchen alone Milt. And if that doesn't work, well...ab

I have a constant battle with ants in the summertime, ab. I do try to keep the kitchen extra clean, but somehow they still invade. I try everything, then I am forced to put out ant bait traps. I don't like them, but I can't stand the invasion.

We also use pesticides, when tiny ants invade our kitchen knowing it is injurious to health. But we prefer it to the other menace ! :)

I hear you, Valsa. Sometimes one risk outweighs another.
