Ants in my pants!
Well… not so much in my pants… but they’re everywhere else! The other day, I was working in my office at home and heard my wife scream. I really didn’t think anything of it cause, well she over reacts to the smallest things… but still, I came down to check on her. I come into the bedroom and there are hundreds of ants all over our bed! I would see a few ants here and there around the house, but nothing to make a fuss about. This was just crazy! I don’t even understand why they’re in our house. We both do a pretty good job in keeping the place clean, I’ve put ant killer granules around the foundations of the house… I mean, what else are you supposed to do? So, as the obvious next step, we are on the hunt for some pest control. If anyone has some helpful tips, please share!
I had a bad ant problem at my house last year after it rained a lot. There was a period of time last year that it rained everyday for 2 - 3 weeks. I talked to an exterminator and they said because of all the water, the ants were trying to get to higher ground, which just happened to be my house. I was able to have them do a one time treatment and that got rid of the ants.
There are other pest control places that make you sign a contract and they come out several times a year…I stayed away from that and found a place that would do a one time treatment, which worked for me.
