Upon considering the ingredients of my homemade ant bait, and the massive, MASSIVE swarm of ants around the baits I set out, I am concerned that I may have concocted some kind of bacon grease ant beer powder. With yeast, cornmeal, baking powder and bacon grease…seems like once it all ferments we’ll it’s going to be beer powder. And because when I woke up this morning, the number of ants all up ons the baits had, like, quintupled. So much of the baits had been taken that they were starting to erode around the bases, tiny little bacon grease ant beer powder granules dusting the back of my sink. (The parts that weren’t swarmed by hoards of drunken ants, that is.)
It’s like EVERY SINGLE ANT IN INDIANA IS ON MY KITCHEN SINK. It’s like the word got out last night and they’re all, PARTY AT THE WOESTMANS!
And I most certainly can’t wipe the back of the sink down or I’ll destroy their scent trails. So I have water spots, fingerprints, dishwashing splatters, ant beer crumbles, a few strewn ant carcasses here and there (ant beer poisoning casualties perhaps), and eleventy billion ants in hot pursuit of whatever I made for them yesterday morning.
Due to the dramatic increase and not so much at all decrease in the ant swarmage, I would have to go on record to say I am Skeptical At Best about this ant killer remedy. But I’ll give it another couple of days.
If my baits last that long.
I put out 7 yesterday, SEVEN!!!!, and they are all swarmed and decomposing due to the sheer volume of ant nibblers.
In my imagination, here’s what’s happening in the ant nest within the next two hours: KABLOOEY.
And then they’ll all be dead and not on my sink anymore.
