ANTS! ☹️
Let me start by saying I hate ants. It might sound very dramatic but this issue is causing me to lose sleep and feel so uncomfortable in my home.
I bought a house early March. Two weeks after we moved in I started seeing some ants. Didn’t think much of it until I realized they weren’t going away. They were all on the wall under our living room window. The people who owned the house before us looks like they tried to do their own renovations and there are so many gaps in the wood around the windows and in the baseboards and that’s how they’re coming in.
I couldn’t take it anymore so I called pest control and they came last Friday, 5/8. He put bait by the windows and SO MANY ants came out which I guess is what we want. He also sprayed inside and outside. As mentioned, these ants are causing me emotional turmoil (I have a 6 month old and I’m so paranoid about them being in his crib, and I don’t like him being on the floor knowing these ants are here). Ever since I am starting to see these fucking things on my ceiling, in rooms they weren’t in before, in my bathtub… everywhere!!!!!!!! I bought more bait gel and terro for outside to make sure they got enough to kill them.
It’s only been a few days but I am going crazy. I feel so dirty and itchy and uncomfortable in my house. We have cats plus the baby. I found one in my bed so I am sleeping on the couch.
I hope these all die off soon. If I knew I’d have this problem I wouldn’t have bought this house.
