They are crawling all over my lovely office, which is a walled off section of the detached garage and not very well sealed up, I'm afraid. I'm watching a thick trail of them go for my Terro bait and hoping.
(Argentine ants are sometimes called sugar ants. They are tiny, and hard to get rid of because they have multiple queens and exist in a state-wide supercolony - smaller colonies join forces instead of waging war on each other. I've spent a lot of time googling these suckers lately.)
The other day I failed to notice the inch-thick trail crawling across my black desk until after I'd set up my laptop and keyboard and notebook and realized everything - including me - was covered with them. I got no writing done that night.
After the last Raid battle my office was littered with literally thousands of dead ant bodies.
Yuck.
Just had to vent
