Wonder if they're gonna extend it or not.

Well, that was the case till they started to invite their friends in and gosh.. do they have a lot of them. Hungry ants I guess it was my fault as sometimes leaving food out in the open tends to temp them too much. Ok, so I'll change my habits and store food in containers whenever I can. Worked great, ants stopped bothering me.. well.. for a while anyway. It is not till then till I found out that ants actually get thirsty. Which means, they started pouring into my bathroom and water containers. Some ants smell when they die. I can't describe it. Its terrible. Thirsty ants Well, thats when I started to think of a way to get rid of them. I looked on the internet for some solutions, ranging from using cinnamon powder to vinegar to confuse their trails. Didn't really work for me though. So I
