    Ants...that the property manager says aren't there. I took a pic. :)

    Good luck.
    Are they the big black ones? Or the teeny tiny type?

    They’re both bad news for the landlord.
    But the sugar ants can be helped a little with borax and powdered sugar mixed 50/50.
    Put it where the ants can find it, but away from pets and children.

    There are big black ones??????

    😀

    This is in our office but I actually have both borax and powdered sugar at home. Which is really unusual. 😀

    Carpenter ants are big and black. And they are very bad news.
    Sugar ants are very small. And love moisture damaged wood. Also bad news.

    The sugar and borax is essentially the same stuff that’s in the ant bait you can get at any hardware store. But it’s much less expensive to make your own.

    It’s unlikely to solve the issue. But it should put a damper on it.

    I could definitely have done with one of those, although baking it sounds like a great idea💡 I'm going to try in my air fryer 😃

    I was 'attacked' by two different spiders within 24 hours - in almost exactly the same spot on my neck. Am I wearing a sign - "spiders rest here"?! Both times I felt what I thought was my hair, tickling my neck and reached up only to discover a spider. The first time was understandable - I was working outside. The second time was at 5 o'clock this morning, while I was sleeping in my bed. 🤨😳😭

    My tooth hurts and it’s a worst ghost town in here than it’s ever been.

    People at work. Guy in the backroom couldn’t wait the 5 seconds for me to grab my work device and come back to get the cart I had and jumped off the machine to throw the cart across the room. He could see me the whole damn time! Like stop? Stop for the smallest amount of time in the world?
    Anyway, and my work partner has been *kitten* weird all day and ‘joking’ that I’m lazy when I’ve done 80% of the project we’re working on like....🤬
    I want today to just be over and hopefully everyone can be in a better mood tomorrow.

    I just found the sunglasses I 'lost' last week. Normally that would be great news, but I've already replaced them. Do I keep two pairs now or return them?
