Pix, that's great news!

Susan, do you still live in the Greenwood/Phinney Ridge area? We learned that there's a HUGE ant colony that spans those two entire neighborhoods. (Our pest control company let us know that while we were still living in the area and dealing with ants ALL THE TIME.)

Heh!

That's like something out of a horror movie, or an X-File.

No ants yet. We had a few last year, but not too bad. My SIL is in pest control so we have the good stuff ready if they come back.

Mr. Loomy has developed a mild phobia because we had ant incursions so often.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We periodically get ants on our bed, largely due to which wall it happens to be against. It makes napping basically impossible, which is super frustrating on those rare occasions when I might actually be able to nap

Yesterday was quite warm for Minnesota so I took the dogs on a walk to the local lake. [link]

Lovely!

Though they came at me with talk of atropa-fonts, the real reason I pay for exterminator services is the ants. So teeny! So numerous!

That’s lovely, Gud!

Ants come in at the kitchen window at my place. But if I get out early each spring and spray around the window with wasp spray they don’t. I just have to time it right.
