Ive been invaded by sugar ants.The little buggers are everywhere. In the kitchen, in my bed, in the dog food everywhere. Need to bomb the place. It happens a couple times a year, a good bombing gets rid of them for a while.

I hate those things. Have you ever had pantry moths? They come in packaging from the grocery store. They're almost worse than ants.

Could be. I know a gallon jug with sugar and water gets rid of wasps. Something like that might work for ants. Ill give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

We had ants about two months ago.If you don't kill them, they become maggots.
(At least in southern Nevada). Anything RAID makes will kill them(the ants). We would
never have had them if I had eaten the watermelons I bought outside in the yard.
Instead of the kitchen(where the white people eat). Read what's written on a can of raid.
I bet it'll tell you what you need to know.

A month ago, 27 June 2014, Bobby Womack died. He was an integral part of the
music scene throughout his life and his song "Across 110th Street" is a part of
The American Gangster soundtrack. Add Ridley Scott to his list of fans. My favorite
Bobby Womack song is "Time Is On My Side", which he wrote with his first wife, Shirley.
Bobby lived fast and hard. And never apologized for nuthin. He did everything he sang
about in his songs. Twice. RIP.

I have one of those pesky summer colds compounded with a sinus headache.

Miserable is the correct word.

There have been a few obnoxious people here, thats for sure.

Im miserable because because I cant get rid of these blasted sugar ants or as my wife called them, pissants. Everyone here is plagued with them. The little buggers are everywhere. In the sink, in my dog's food dish, in the bed, theres one on the computer screen. I spray them with vinegar and that cheap dollar store spray cleaner and they go away for a couple days and the little *&%#$@'s are back again.
