Ants

​I woke yesterday morning. Fed the dogs and cats, then into the kitchen to make that magical brew. 

Coffee. 

I noticed a couple of ants. 

I move the pod machine and there was a cluster of them. 

I quickly wiped them away   Getting rid of the pheromones so that others would come looking for them 

With all the rain we have had. I think we are getting even more. 

The ants always know. 

And no. There were no crumbs or any food out to entice them in. 

I will be on the lookout for any other mischievous ants looking for a nice warm winter home

Here’s a little Ditty to get you singing along

  2. Urgh! What a pain!
    I am battling carpet beetles. When I first saw some a few years ago I thought they were cute little ladybirds and ignored them for a couple of years, then I found out what they are and that they are actually making holes around the edges of my carpet. I have tried natural methods to get rid of them, without success, so I have just ordered some targeted insecticide spray to ramp up my efforts. I hate killing things but this is now all-out war!

  3. I had serious ant problems and found they'd nested under the siding. Big expensive professional treatment followed. Now they're rare. I don't like sharing my counters with them.

    1. They’re the reason I had to demolish my first craft room and rebuild. Water damage and all the ants living in the walls
