I KNOW YOU ARE DYING TO KNOW

...the status of the ants.

I had to fly to Oklahoma City this morning for a meeting.  I forgot to check the ants before I left.  Thankfully, I flew back this afternoon so you don't have to wait a whole day to get an ant update.

And here it is…. They’re gone.  That’s right.  I just checked and I don't see any.  I know, I’m a little surprised myself.  As far as I can figure, this evacuation is for one of two reasons.

1) My smart husband filled a pie dish with water and set the dog dish in it.  In effect, he's placed a moat around the food (a.k.a. protein source).  This has either solved the problem or the ants are congregating somewhere designing plans for a teeny tiny drawbridge.

or

2) They are, in fact, stressed out from all the spraying and have scattered.  From what I've read, if this is the case, I expect to wake up some morning to my house being marched down our street on the backs of the millions of teeny tiny ants that are multiplying as we speak.

Regardless, there are no ants today.

I'm going to call that progress and move on for now.
