Monday Mystery

Well, we're having an ant problem in the bathroom. It's that time of year. We always have them somewhere. Our exterminator says it's pretty common in the spring.

We use the Terro Ant Bait and it works pretty well. I don't really understand why the ants are there. We certainly don't eat in the bathroom. You can see where they come in the window---they have a particular path. "The ants are marching one by one" back and forth (now you can have that tune in your head all day--you're welcome). They'll be gone soon enough, but that's not what the mystery is.

The problem is on the other side of the window. We have some sort of wood shavings. I know what you are thinking---"must be termites." And you might be right. I'm not worried about that because we have an annual termite inspection thorough our exterminator, so are guaranteed. If they are termites, we will not have to pay for the treatment. I'm more worried that we might have carpenter ants. They are really hard to get rid of. We've fought carpenter bees before too.

Stay tuned. I hope for this mystery to be solved soon!
