Ants - A little story

[Ed]

I live in a basement flat, and for the last couple of years, when in gets warm, I get a load of little ants running through the kitchen. Last year and the year before, despite askig around a bit, I wiped em all out with ant killer. I felt really bad at the time, after all, Mr Ant is just trying to get by like the rest of us.

Anyway, came back on Sun after a weekend away, and they are having a rave in my kitchen again. Couldn't bear to wipe em out and didn't know where to get Ant killer on a BH Monday.

So I popped on line yesterday, looked up Ants + humane and up popped an article by someone who said they had tried wiping a few out (which is supposed to put em off coming in) didn't work. They'd tried filling every crack etc, but they were still getting in. He she realised it was sweet stuff they were after, so he worked out roughly where they were coming in from and put a blob of golden syrup down outside.

So I had a little bit of jam in one of those small pots you get in hotels hanging around, so I popped it outside away from the wall where I know they come in.

Got up this morning, the rave has moved outside

Feeling very righteous and chuffed with myself lol.

Sounds great Ed

Surely they're nested in one of the building's cavities though, so although they're feeding outside temporaily, they're still inside the house just biding their time until the sweet stuff runs out before you get the same problem again

I'm just thankful that we don't have the fire ants here yet

Awww ed, bless ya!

I think ants are clever little buggars.... i usually get an ant infestation too either in my living room or kitchen, the only way i can think of gettin rid is to use that powder ant killer, tbh i will try not to kill owt, even spiders and i hate them but more recently ive kinda shoved them away with summat instead of squishing them lol, theres always a part of me that feels bad when ive killed summat, even flies

Good for you anyway ed.

lol, won't be so great when you get up one morning and you're looking forward to jam on toast.... then you open the cupboard and realize that you gave the last of your jam to the ants!

If the ants don't eat it, the rats will find it

It'll have to be a day thing with the sweet stuff or ants will be the least of the problems

Oh.My.God.
I'd practically die of fright and shock if that ever happened to me
i'm a big wuss when it comes to spideys

[Miss C]

Hahahaha just the same as me, won't kill anything, i'll even fish a fly out of the bath if it gets caught in the water lolol.....

Ants are a bugger though, especially on holiday, can't leave anything out or theres a fking army of them demolishing it & carting it off in every direction. I'll bare that tip in mind

[T.C]

I saw a spider catcher somwhere, possibly online as there was a little clip of it being scooped up like lightning, and was going to buy one, but it was a tenner and I have yet to decide if its worth it. My spider-hate ratio is deffo worth a tenner but .hmm... maybe im just a tight git who hasnt seen enough spiders here yet to be scared enough to purchase

[Jiglo]

It's worth it for your conscience T.C

If you don't need one after you've bought it then I might take it off yourhands to see if it'll make my penis bigger, or at least to see if it can suck me off

lmao, certainly wasnt expecting the post to turn into that kind of malarkey halfway through

fook my conscience, its me or them and to be fair they have more limbs so i ought to carry a weapon for the sake of giving myself a good go

and regarding your alternative usage ... hmm i wouldnt recommend it, wasnt so much sucking the critter up a pipe it was more of a garbage gobbler (dont get excited at the word, lol) type effect, without the shreddage but , whatever floats your boat dude

I recommend a Henry hoover , (it will even look at you with those big beautiful eyes during the act...the saucy bitchette)
or even more outrageously... a girl!
