Typical domestic stuff. Played with the kids, cooked, cleaned, showered.

Bought some stuff at IKEA. Finally finished assembling a nightstand for my daughter.

Pondered on the ecologically sound mass murdering of ants.

My daughter thought planning a mass murder was fitting, for a vegetarian aspie.



Tried a yeast/sugar approach. The insects did not even touch the nice concoction I made them.  ::)

I have yet to try the borax/sugar combo. Will let you know how that goes. I found another mound relatively close to the first one. The first one I refer to as Mecca. It's massive and all the ants flock to it. The second one is the suburbs. It's a little ways out, and more grass because it's not overpopulated yet :P

I spent today introducing kids to a blue tongued skink. :)

A solution popular in the South is to put grits on the ant pile before a rain.  They eat the grits and when they take in water, the grits explode in their stomachs.  I just usually draw a line with chalk on the threshhold and a little ways up the door jamb.  They've never crossed it yet.
This is a massive nest in my front yard. It's 3 ft across. They're bringing sand up to the surface and it's smothering out the grass. I found a second colony not far from the first so they're slowly overtaking my yard and the kids play out there all the time.

Can you rent an anteater from the zoo?
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

CBC suggested that as well.  :2thumbsup: I would be much more entertained to do that than become "the ant bully" and put poison in their nest. Sigh. My guilt complex is far too high. I hate killing off the little buggers. Would be different if it were a natural food chain cycle.  :apondering:

I hate them and I don't have much of a choice either.  :lol1:
