Sugar Ants
You know how you think your house is baby-proofed until someone brings their baby over and the darling finds the one esophagus-shaped thing in your house to swallow? I think it's the same with ants. This summer our entire neighborhood has been overrun by sugar ants. I've been careful to wipe down the maple syrup after each use and to sponge up any spilled sugar, but somehow they can find even the smallest drop of something sticky. I found one lone ant last night in my bathroom--MY BATHROOM of all places. I figured he was confused and would soon die or find his way to the nearest grain of sugar elsewhere. But today I discovered what this persistent ant was after. He was in my shower heading toward my raw turbinado sugar body scrub. If only it was the size of the ant's esophagus....

All of you kids will remember the time your Dad took you to the ward camp out while I was at education week. Seems to me you had a great experience with sugar ants in the trailer. Debbie will still remember washing everything in the cupboards down with soapy water and missing all the activities of the day. Sorry I missed it, but after all I was busy learning how to be a better Mom and how to CRAM scriptures down your throat during early morning scripture time. (I think you were all sleeping during that time each morning.) Love MOM
Our neighborhood has been OVER RUN by ants too. The pest control guy said the over abundance of rain caused an over production of bugs. It can just be one little sliver of Life cereal, and the troops come out!
Mom, I remember the ants--Debbie wasn't the only one missing activites. For some reason since we were girls, we had to help and the boys played with dad.
