Ants came marching in
And took over my kitchen
Pesky devils, ick
They hit pay dirt here
Goldfish crackers, cereal
Scattered here and there
Now forced to clean up
All the messes, spills on the floor
Take away their food
I don't like to clean
Hate to do floors, dust and scrub
Detestable ANTS!

I hate ants. Hope you get rid of them. Take care and have a good Friday - Kellan
Actually, I like the ants b/c they force me to clean!!
Ants are the worst...hate 'em!
I've been battling them since we moved into this house 3 years ago. Just remember to use vinegar. It destroys the pheremone trails.
Oh crap. Really? Funny you should say that, we had 2 yesterday and I freaked. And I swear they multiply like rabbits!
Unfortunately, it's that time of year again. I usually get those big black ants in my house...not looking forward to that. Hopefully this year they will stay away. Good luck with getting rid of them.
my oldest just asked today if there was a venus anttrap and could we get one!!
Ugh - Sorry about the ants. I hate 'em too. And I hate cleaning even more!
Happy Friday!
ants *shudder* i HATE ants....
I love this haiku! I need to get mine more than one verse.
Vividly … your ‘ku
reminds me of when I first
moved into this house!
Getting rid of ants
is no simple feat, is it?
I do wish you well ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
My Haiku Friday posts this week are:
Joyful Burst of Color and
Of Oddities and Change
Oh no! We get them when it gets warm too. Yucky little buggers.
Ugh, yep, ants are a real pain in the ass. I have no advice, but I do feel your pain, and it made for a great haiku.
Ugh. Stinking ants. Anything creepy crawly in my house is dead meat. Makes me so mad!
Good luck. I hope you get all those little fritters!
Ants suck.
But it could be worse. I had a scorpion infestation about three years ago. They were little nasty SOB's about the size of my pinky nail. That has been the only time in my life that I totally approved of any chemical necessary to get rid of pests.
I totally can't stand ants. Part of it could be that they're way more organised than me. Bleuch, good luck with the cleaning.
Wow! That happened to me, too and my cabinets are nearly empty. Strange little pests...they're gone now and I managed to hang on!
Ants stink. And so does cleaning... sigh...
Your right about ants!!
I read your comment...so now the challenge is to come up with a name. From my blog I wrote to you, and anyone else who can help
To Toni:
Yes I call her Toni, but now the real task is to figure out the full name.
We have for example:
Wind in the Willows
Kiss Me Kate
Stormy Weather
Afternoon Delight
so what's the
??? ??? ??? Toni ???
HELP me!!!
We're having the same problem. I've been given lots of good home remedies lately - vinegar, dish soap, peppermint oil, boric acid. I'm using all of them to get rid of these awful ants. Good luck!
ugh. we had that problem and I freaked out and called Orkin. We've been ant-free for 3 years now.
As well as the viniger, mix a borax solution in water and circle your home with it, it stops them from coming in. One year I had the little red ones so bad my poor birds had them in their cages. That's when I discovered the boarx trick and I haven't had ants since. I just do it once when it starts getting warmer and it doesn't seem to mess with what landscaping I have done.
Good luck... oui, those are nasty little things!
Ugh, I hate ants! Good luck getting rid of them.
They've come visiting here this past week too.
ants are sooo evil! we have sneaky little sugar ants that creep in when we aren't looking. they drive me crazy!
love your haiku and thanks for visiting my blog!
