Blasted bugs...


A cricket...not MY cricket


We have ants in our new house. They are only in a few select places and only after a few select items it seems.

1. MY syrup in the pantry (Ryan and I prefer different brands of syrup)
2. The cats' food

That's all they want...those two things. I thought I'd try to get rid of them myself before resorting to the pest control man, but alas, my attempts are not working. I tried ant traps, ant spray, and even Clorox Clean-up. Nothing worked. I called the pest control guy today and they are coming tomorrow.

Good thing I called because not long after I got off the phone with them, I heard a cricket. This cricket will not shut up. I have no idea where he is. That's the thing about crickets. You THINK you know where they are, but you really have no idea. They are tricky little suckers. And ugly. I THINK he is in the garage, but who knows. He could be in Nevada for all I know. Crickets are loud...

We have ants too! I'm hating it. They are so gross. I hope your bug man gets them all soon.
