Invasion!

It's interesting the wide array of critters that can be found taking refuge in an Arizona home during the summer. From these, to these...it would seem like not the safest place to live, eh?

Now, don't panic! Ol' Techymike and his family haven't had to worry about either of these invading the TM House. What we have is something far less creepy (and painful!), yet far more pesky! These!

That's right, we have an ant problem. Dozens of them! Now, our house isn't pristine, but we do our best to keep it clean, and make sure we don't leave food or remnants laying around. Dishes are done (nearly) every night, and we have a dog to clean up the floor when something falls down. With that said, we have a two year old...and she often finds "special" places to put things when we're not watching.

This isn't the first time we've had an ant problem. It seems to happen every summer, and usually they make their way in through the kitchen windowsill. This happened at the beginning of the summer, and we placed a fair share of ant poison on the sill, and it seemed to do the trick. Well now, those cunning ants saw fit to come in through our front door! I placed another poison trap under the couch near the door, so hopefully that solves the problem. If not, I'm gonna make a special trip to Home Depot to buy a can of Raid!

That's all for now :) I have a very special project that I'm trying to put together, but it might take a couple of weeks before it's ready, so stay tuned!
