Hormigas Part III

There's no food in the cabinet, but they're all over the dishes!  I threw everything in the dishwasher, peppermint soap sprayed everything, then dusted with ground cinnamon again.  WTF.

Hormigas Part II

This morning there were ants EVERYWHERE.  Ok, that was hyperbolic, but there were at least 1,000 ants in my lunch bag.  Was there food in there?  Nope.  There were crumbs on the bottom of the bag.  CRUMBS. 

They're also all over the glassware in the cabinet.  All the cups have ants crawling all over them.  Dishwasher time!  

We are supposed to get the tree today, too! I put the bag in the yard and attempted to contain the ants in the kitchen.  This time, there were soldiers, too.  Peppermint soap and ground cinnamon all over .  I found the hole they were coming in from.  I made a paste with the cinnamon and water, and packed it into the hole.  We'll see if this does it.

Hormigas!

M-F'ing ants.  Ants in the kitchen.  Ants on nothing.  Ants. Ants. Ants.  EW.  There were a few scouts around all week, but tonight they came out in full force.  It was gross.  They're in the kitchen coming out of a cabinet with no food in it!  Peppermint soap and some ground cinnamon mixed with water to seal the holes fixed the problem today.
