How should I start the story? Hmm... On one fine day, I was in need to quench thirst. When I opened up water mug, I saw a small bunch of ants floating on the water!
Exactly the same like the skydivers!
What I did was just remove them then consume the water lo. Not necessary to pour away the whole mug of water le, wasteful! I thought the story ended but who knows!? The other bunch of ants came back the next day! Immediately I washed the whole kettle and mug. I even placed a small container with water but they still headed for my mug and kettle. Ignorant ants! Haiz.. Continue my life and didn't take the issue to heart.
Well, they came back again, again, again, again, again and again. I got fed up and googled for solutions. Kinda shocked after reading an article. The writer wrote that ants are like humans, which they need water too! Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see! And now I know the reason but still can't figure out why they chose mug/kettle instead of the small container that was just outside their nest!
I always believe that I can live in harmony with the ants. Until I got selfish, don't feel like sharing MY water with ants! Just kidding! FYI, ants do carry germs from the surface lo! Although they don't transmit disease but I just want to avoid it. Blame themselves for ignoring the kind me that provided container specially for them!
So, I took my first action today - the ant poison! *Evil grin*
The description mentioned that the poison can even kills cockroaches! But they will only die 100% after 100 hours. Cheh! Which means it takes 1 hour to destroy 1% of cockroach system. So pity right.. Should put them down asap then don't have to suffer for that long..
Back to the ants! It is advisable to place the poison separately but I keep them in one container. I wanna see them dieeeee! Unfortunately, I spilled some on my table. Now they are gathering on my table instead in the container. Cis! But we will see how after few days!
Dear ants, I don't mean to kill ya all but.. Don't drink my water ler! Pick either kitchen or washroom ma.. XD
