Creepy little buggers

We have ants. Little baby ones that are perfectly camouflaged in our carpet. Our bedroom carpet. Yes we have ants crawling around in our bedroom. Where we sleep and get dressed. Where we store our shoes, the ones we blindly step into each day without first checking for baby ants.

Brad discovered this problem yesterday and immediately cleared the floor of all clothes and shoes. I'm worthless in these situations, never knowing exactly what to do to solve such a problem. So I sat on the bed and plucked my eyebrows. Oh, and took pictures...

...while Brad vacuumed up the poor suckers. Part 2 of his plan is to get ant traps, so we can lure them in with sweet succulent honey (or whatever is in those deceitful traps), then throw them away with the rest of the garbage. We're so murderous! They're just innocent little ants afterall.

But they're crawling on my shoes and could find their way into my clothes any day now. I'm sorry, but they must go.

Oh, and yes, that door in the picture is in our bedroom. It leads to a roof above the breakfast nook and entryway. We thought it would be cool to go hang out on the roof on nice days. You know, lawn chairs and lemonade? We've never done it. But we think that's where the ants are coming from. Brad all but vacuumed the roof yesterday trying to get rid of them. Which might not have been a bad idea actually.

I'm happy to report that it looks like the Ants have moved on. I did not see one Ant this morning when i checked the traps. Of course, I didn't see any dead Ants either. So we'll see what happens. But I strategically placed the traps so that any shoes and or clothing would be safe in the near future.

And hopefully we can be rid of our new friends, the Ants.
