the ants, or this house is being overtaken

so first it was the mice. they are still here, by the way. we found a half eaten piece of candy in the storage room where maggie sleeps. then there was the lizard. i haven't had any more in the house, but everytime i open the door to the carport i tell the albino lizard things to stay back. they like to hang out above the door.

now there are ants. they are in the pantry. i told them this wasn't a picnic but they don't seem to care. i don't know how they got in there or where they keep coming from. every couple of minutes i go over with the vaccuum cleaner and suck up about a ton of them. then i give them a few minutes to send out more scouts, looking for the ones who haven't returned. they come back out when it's quiet and they don't hear the noise of the sucking death-to-ants machine. that's when i make another attack.

well, it's been quiet for a few minutes now...looks like it's time to defend my territory, again.
