Okay so I keep my apartment pretty clean but recently I was walking into my room and I saw an ant on the wall by the window, we had this staring match going for awhile before I lost and turned away to see... another ant...



It was only the beginning.



As I pulled my bed away from the wall in a panic, I realized there was a whole trail of ants leading along the wall and then I did a very bad thing.

I looked down.

The floor was covered in ants.

Oh dear sweet lord what did I do to deserve this.

Instead of doing the logical thing and buying some ant spray or a bug bomb, I remembered that diluted dish soap kills ants quickly.



This turned out to be the worst idea I've ever had in my entire life.

I ran quickly to the kitchen and filled up a pitcher with Ultra-concentrated Dish Soap and water, congratulating myself for quick thinking so much that I didn't even notice the bubbles forming and setting off an alarm far back into my head. I was just concentrating on the ant army that found its way into my bedroom. I was too afraid to just step into the room so I started pouring the solution in front of me to make a trail all the way to the wall, a good 10 feet of carpet, at which time I ran out of solution.

Fuck.

Made more and continued to pour it all over my walls intent on wiping out every last ant alive in my apartment. Only a couple survived long enough for me to scoop them up in the pitcher and flush them away.

I was feeling pretty fine at this point realizing no ants remained when I was hit with the fact that there were in fact about 500 ant bodies and a growing amount of bubbles all over everything.

Now in case none of you have ever cleaned dish soap off of carpet, especially Concentrated Dawn, you should know that a tiny drop makes ton of bubbles when you rub it and even more when you mix it with the water on the rag.

I had used about 1/2 a bottle, and about two gallons of water just for the solution.

I started cleaning it up with a rag before realizing all I was doing was making a shit ton of bubbles and getting nowhere, I had to rent a steam cleaner to get rid of it all and OH MY GOD after about 3 hours of cleaning and a house full of bubbles (dear lord, the bubbles, you have no idea), I finally had a room free of ant carcasses and suds.

Seriously I filled up my tub at least 10 times with bubbles frantically trying to dilute them enough to go down the drain.

Also everything smelled like apples for weeks and now I use regular strength original because I cannot stand Apple scented.



At least I don't have ants anymore.

next time you're at a grocery, get some whole bay leaves from the spice isle. follow their trail to find out where they are coming in and tack a few bay leaves down right across the path. they will not cross bay leaves.

The trail was the worst but they were all over the floor too I don't even know why, going from my bedroom window all the way into a tiny hole in the bathroom closet wall

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to bite Phazon's bum
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

>_>

There was a trail of ants in my apartment 2 years ago because I left a box of Cheez-its on the floor and then left for spring break. Just got out the vacuum cleaner and showed them who was boss.

Coincidentally, I have a box of Cheez-Its on the ground next to me.

the only true way to get rid of ants is to destroy the underground network that they spawn from. enjoy your future reinfestation.

I like your writing style.

But next time you should buy some anti-ant spray or something. Saves you a lot of time and money. They also have those little boxes for ants and inside is some poison (not to confuse with poisson, which is the French name for ' Fish'.

About the trying so hard to get rid of the bubbles: Don't bubbles/foam dissipate after time anyway? Or was their so many that it would've taken hours to dissipate?
