It's a Party!

As some of you may already know, based on previous posts I have a 6 year old with a great imagination and a comedic sense of humor. Well she's done it again. This time she's thought of a great way to solve an annoying problem we have been seeing in our home since Spring started.



THE PROBLEM:

Ants. We seem to be hosting a family of tiny, black ants all over our main floor. I don't like using chemical sprays for obvious reasons but I feel like I have to nuke my home to get rid of them since nothing is working...until a little someone thought of a solution!


THE SOLUTION:

I purchased a well recomended brand of ant bates and strategically placed them around the house. It seemed to work the first few days but the ants were on to us...at lease that's what Victoria said.

"Hey mommy, they probably know that the ant bates are not good for them. We just have to make it so they want to go in." says my little genius.

Her solution? Make it an "Ant Party"! Yup, an Ant Party. She made up signs and secured them to the wall above each ant bate. She said it will make them WANT to come in and party! Then they will die. Her words.



THE RESULTS:

It worked. Yes sir, it did. No ants crawling in my kitchen. What she may not have known? Daddy sprayed ant repellent and re-caulked the baseboards and back splash. But hey, why ruin the fun? Now let's PARTY!!!

Enjoy
