Presumably the ants came up into the houses because they were trying not to drown.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They came into out liquor cabinet, so that got cleaned out. Luckily they didn't get into any of the bottles.
Yeah, they could have gotten wasted and trashed your place.

My latest trick for getting rid of tiny ants seemed to work really well. Spraying their entrance point (if you can find it) with cider vinegar. Of course if it's unpleasant vinegar vs death by drowning they may choose vinegar.

Hey I feel for the ants, drowning sucks. But I hate ants in my house.

I have to remember that it's the kind of hummus from TJ's without the tahini that I like better than the "Classic" hummus. Which is weird because I like tahini. Maybe it's something else about the one vs the other because this one is oddly flavored to me.

If bugs want to live in my space, they need to learn to make themselves cuter. You don't see me reaching for the pesticides or swatters if kittens find their way inside.

This. I have almost Jilli spider levels of aversion to ants in my house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
