The battle is not over, we are not claiming victory but the coalition is making progress. You will learn however, that chemical weapons WERE used. Naw — this is not a rehash of political commentary. This is about the homeland. The ants are invading kitchen and pantry. I tried the squash under thumb method, but for B.O.U.R.Gurl, that wasn’t cutting it and “Barney” an estimator from Exorbitant Exterminator Co wanted a 12 month contract. So, armed with a leaky old pump sprayer and Ortho’s Malathion-50, I laid down a perimeter barrier on the outside. Fortunate thing. That stuff smells bad — like a Georgia Paper Mill in the summer time. Worse, my exposed hands were wet from the stuff. I’m not poisoned but the stink has been on me for 2 days. Collateral damage. The pesky critters have been beaten back. For now.
