Ant Rant

What a stressful night. Cloth diapers didn't get started washing until late, so all DS's overnight diapers were still drying by bed time. On top of that, there were ants SWARMING all over his high chair that I didn't notice until I was putting him in. Then his new PJs turned out to be too small, so I had to put him on the floor (a safer spot than the changing table) while I went through laundry to find PJs that fit. To top it off, when I went to feed him he couldn't latch because he had a piece of squash skin on the roof of his mouth, and of course he fought me as I tried to get it out so he could feed. After he went down (in a slightly damp diaper because the dryer wasn't finished), I spent half an hour disassembling his high chair and soaking/scrubbing every component.

My property manager is going to get an earful because I called a week ago about the ants, and they told me they only spray for infestations and that we needed to take care of it themselves. Well if that wasn't an infestation, I don't know what is. I don't understand why they don't spray preventatively like other landlords I've had did.  Right now, I'm too exhausted to be on the war path just yet. It's nights like this that make me wish DH wasn't on night shift.

Vinegar kills their trail and baby powder on their entry site smothers them and prevents the, from coming in. That is really gross. I am sorry!
