Absolutely and completely off any reasonable topic: Ants Ants have been overwhelming my tolerance for bugs in the house this fall. Too hot or something, and our spraying noxious stuff around the outside of the house hasnt done the job it usually does. (I can get asthma from having the stuff sprayed indoors.) So I got a few of those little contraptions that are like "roach motels" but for ants. I put a few around in the places the ants were (kitchen, bathrooms, looking for water I guess.) They were fairly considerate ants actually, never got in the food other than crumbs left around (Amazing the size of crumb a tiny ant can carry!!!) The next morning after I put those contraptions out, I went in the kitchen to make breakfast and the floor had these wierd worm like (about 1/4 inch orless) clear colored creatures wriggling around. I tried to kill a few and then realized the floor was covered with them. Yuck!!! So I went back to the bedroom and got ready for work. An hour later when I came out again, the floor was almost clear!!!!! In a couple of corners there were a little circle of ants around several of these wormy things, trying to comfort them or something I guess. Anyway when I got home from work the kitchen was free of ants or wormy things. One of my coworkers says the wormy things were probably grubs, meaning the ants had set up a nest in the kitchen, icky. Very strange. Freeus
