Apr. 10th, 2014 07:34 amThe ants continue their hostile takeover of my home.
Earlier this week, they started coming onto the roof. They are all up in the gutters, which are too high up to reach even with our longest ladder which cost a fortune. A bunch have crawled along the side of the house, too. One finally got into my closet, and two of them have tried to get in through my bedroom window. Connor, who's had ants before, agrees that all I can do at this point is call an exterminator, but my dad, ever the beacon of wisdom, tells me he "wouldn't call a few ants in the gutters an infestation."
That's fine and all, but the point of the matter is that they clearly have a way to get in there, and we have no way to get them out, let alone keep them out. But sure, let's wait for it to become an infestation. Rack up that inevitable exterminator bill, why don't you.
But on the bright side, Hannah and John say they would consider moving in with me if/when I find a job and my own place, which I think will make finding the latter way easier. It's still going to be 6 weeks before I can even start looking, but it's something to look forward to, at least.
