Eek!!

I got up earlier than normal this morning and came downstairs to make the coffee, get the milk, you know...the morning stuff. Well, I opened the dishwasher to get the *favorite* sippy cup out and dropped the door jumping and hopping like a complete idiot. It was FULL of those big black and red ants. Yes. I know they are harmless. But I do not like them. Especially when they surprise me and are scurrying towards the homemade bread that I dreamt about all night long. So I spent the next 10 minutes spraying them with ant killer and jumping from one foot to the other squealing smashing them with a paper towel when they got too close to the counter. Then I realized (yes. I know it took me too long to realize) that there really wasn't anything I could do. I wasn't going to win. So I did what any other woman would do. I started the dishwasher and went to call the exterminator.

We had ants everywhere this morning too! Bryan used bleach to kill them before I woke up, then when
I woke up there were dead ants ALL over the counters!!

We have had ants for three weeks. Thankfully not the big ones just sugar ants but they are driving me NUTS!! The exterminator has come twice already and they go away but come back. Let me know what works for you. Ang they get in my dishwasher too! Brianne

Oooh, that would scare me too. I don't care if they are "harmless". Don't worry, I wouldn't think about turning the dishwasher on for a while, either.
