How come you have ants in your kitchen?

No idea. We don't have any unsealed food or any dirty dishes. They're only by the back of the sink...

Do you work tomorrow?

What can you do to get rid of them? Is there any poisons? I'm working today and the rest of the week until the weekend.

Well there are many choices I just need to figure out what works. I prefer to err on the "natural" side because I'm an animal person and while I may not have any right now it's good to know what may work in the future if the problem presents itself especially when I may have fur-babies in the house.

I don't blame you for wanting to avoid the poisons. I'd much rather find a way to get rid of them naturally. For example, mice don't like the smell of mint, it's too powerful for their little noses so if you end up with mice, put down mint and they disappear :)

Oh goodness I sure hope I don't have that as a problem!

Yeah as cute as they are, the do create a mess. They can also climb so even if you put bins on top of surfaces they can still get into them :(

Have you found a successful way to get rid of the ants yet?

They are really only cute if they're domesticated and not the neuscences you find running amok full of sicknesses.

They seemed to have poofed at least for now. We used a bit of this left-over flea killer stuff. So it's obv. pet safe.

I'm glad they seem to have gone. I love you new St Patrick's Day (?) themed HA. Very cool :)

Me too they were annoying. We don't have a cleanliness issue at all so it made ZERO sense they'd be coming around.

Haha! Yeah it's kind of lame, I made a female one too...I'll put her on later on.

No I like him :D Maybe include some snakes and a sword... that's what he did right, chased the snakes out of Ireland?!

lol I have no idea. I don't even know who you're referring to...

I don't believe I own any snakes.

St Patrick! You're little Irish HA made me think of him since it's St Patrick's Day soon. I don't either. I don't mind them but I wouldn't want to wear them.

What do you think of the new cash shop chance machine with the animals? I love them all but the snakes and bugs... I hate bugs pulls face yucky!

"Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Proto-Irish: *Qatrikias;[2] Modern Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ];[3] Welsh: Padrig[4]) was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland along with Saints Brigit and Columba."

"When he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Great Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

Saint Patrick's Day is observed on 17 March, the date of his death.[6] It is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland, it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation; it is also a celebration of Ireland itself."

"The absence of snakes in Ireland gave rise to the legend that they had all been banished by St. Patrick[72] chasing them into the sea after they attacked him during a 40-day fast he was undertaking on top of a hill.[73] This hagiographic theme draws on the Biblical account of the staff of the prophet Moses. In Exodus 7:8–7:13, Moses and Aaron use their staffs in their struggle with Pharaoh's sorcerers, the staffs of each side morphing into snakes. Aaron's snake-staff prevails by consuming the other snakes.[74]"

That's kind of funny actually, there are a few of those Chance animals that are snakes. I have WLed 3 of them. All together I WLed.... 14.

I'm not dying for any of them but once their prices come down I'll probably buy em.

I agree though, all the bugs are NASTY especially that gross ass tarantula! ICK!

Spiders I don't mind too much because I hate things that fly especially wasps and bees and spiders eat them.

I'm not a fan of anything that flies, birds included. I mean some birds can be pretty to look at but I still don't like them.

I don't care what spiders eat, I prefer anything that eats them. There are actually a couple birds that do.

I used to not like birds until I worked at a place where they had two as "mascots/store pets" I'm still not into most of them but I don't mind them as much, I like the domesticated ones for sure.

I can't even bring myself to like domesticated birds. They creep me out.

How are things with you anyway?

Decent. I'm pretty wiped out though. I've been procrastinating on so much stuff it's just nuts.

What about you?

Tired but okay. The funeral is next Tuesday so I had to organize getting it off with work. Luckily management are being really good about it. When my Grandparents died I had to fight to get time off (different management now thankfully). Sorry this is becoming really depressing now.

Well that's really great that you were able to get it off and are able to go though. I'm sure she'll really appreciate you coming and being there for her.

I know some places are total a$$holes about that stuff even if they say or even their "handbook" says how they'll give you the "time you need."

How's this for making it happy...I actually was one of the people chosen to pick an animal from the contest they had for the "Animal Chance Machine"!! :D

With 14 of them on my WL I'm not sure which to pick! headdesk
