Why is everything in my life more challenging than it needs to be? So, the ants 🐜. Well, the good news is that I haven’t seen a live ant since Saturday morning – YAY ME! However, the number of ant carcasses I vacuumed up in the meantime is disturbing to say the least.
What was more troubling was the pest guy spraying an ant directly and it didn’t drop dead immediately. In the words of the spray guy, “that’s a problem”. Yes, yes, it is 😳! But there are carcasses so at least the spray is working. The downside – the bodies keep reappearing in areas I’ve already vacuumed 🤦♀️.
On the good news front, a guy who is helping with some landscaping stopped by on Friday to check on the weed kill process. I told him about the ants and by coincidence, he used to do some kind of work with foundations and ant control and kindly shared particular knowledge with me so that I am armed with information when I speak with the builder – specifically that the fill dirt under the house is to be treated so that ant invasions don’t occur. Very useful information indeed 😏.
So this morning a call was placed to the builder and a message was left (doesn’t anyone answer the phone anymore?!? 😠) and as of 5:23 EDT I have yet to receive a return call. Another call will be placed tomorrow and everyday this week until I speak to someone (sounds almost badass until you remember I’m an introvert and this kind of stuff makes me ill 🤢). And if for some reason that doesn’t garner a response, I guess an in-person visit is in order. I may not like doing this kind of stuff, but I will do whatever it takes to get this resolved quickly!
As with all my stories, there is no short route to the solution/end. Instead, I will be giving you the scenic tour 🚐, so fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to (hopefully not) be a bumpy ride 😁.
As with most of my stories, to be continued…
Yep, Word flagged badass 😆. I’m going to have to up my game soon.
