Posted this on the Cocktails thread, but am posting it again so I can get more opinions and advice.
And here I thought I was having a good day. Went out to the kitchen to get more coffee and saw a million tiny black ants all over the sink! I ran the water and knocked them down the drain then poured drain cleaner down after them, (not a good idea as my sink is now backed up, ugh). Went to the drugstore and got ant spray and ant cups, figured out they were coming from under the stove and pulled out the stove drawer and found the most disgusting mess I've ever seen, bits of dried up food and dirt and even a tie! I just hope my landlord didn't give the pigs their security deposit back, I know I sure wouldn't.
I tossed the lot in the bin, then washed the area down with ammonia, then sprayed the ant spray, am waiting for it to dry before putting ant cups out. Anyone who thinks people aren't the most digusting species God ever put on the Earth has no clue at all, makes pigs look like neatniks by comparison.
OK, rant over. It scares me as I don't know where they came from or why now, after two years, they've made an appearance. Ants scare me more than just about anything else, as there are so darn many of them. Any ideas on anything I can do to make sure they don't come back would be greatly appreciated. They're the really tiny black ants, the ones you can barely see, but when they swarm even my half blind eyes without glasses couldn't miss them.
Best wishes for many sales to all,
