Since late July, Shea and I have noticed ants in our apartment.
At first, it was just one every couple of days, and after a little while, we sent a message to out apartment office to have someone come in and spray. The guy would come in, supposedly spray, and leave. This cycle continued up until now - whatever they did was not good enough because more ants seem to appear out of nowhere.
I couldn't even squish these ones right! They swarmed my mouthwash at one point this year. Needless to say, I don't have mouthwash.
Enter the new notifcation at our door. Apparently this corner of the apartment building has been infested with the "Python Ant" which is the hardest ant to kill. Woot. We also learned that they can live virtually anywhere, and split into new colonies.
Since then, Shea and I have been living in fear. They could be anywhere - in our clothing that we haven't worn in a while, in our school folders from last semester, in our bedding, in the molding of our desks, ANYWHERE! So, GoldSeal is coming in to do an aggressive spray/bait treatment for the next 3 months in our apartment area. We have to move out of our kitchens and closets... and we are tired of moving.
So, in terms of survivability, Python ant = win. Normal ant = fail. Can I have some fail please? I think that's the first time I've asked for some fail.
