Invasion

By Aaaaahhhhhhhh - This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff

Today, I came home to carpenter ants coming out from under my baseboards. I went out and bought bait traps and now there are flying ants coming out of the woodwork. If I try to sleep, they crawl on me. FML

Carpenter ants like to burrow in damp wood. You may have a water leak somewhere.

There's only one solution here, clearly. You must burn down your house. Godspeed.

I agree with another commenter. Those are most likely termites. 😨 Call that exterminator yesterday!

Go down to the local zoo & borrow an ant eater. Win win.

At least it ain't spiders? You'd have to Google but ants are chemical sensor creatures. Something really strong like peppermint oil might keep them out of the cupboards until you get things fixed. I think some of the plug in pest repellers work on insects but I've no idea if it works for ants as well. Worth a Google 🤷
