Count those blessings

Yesterday I received a very friendly reminder to count my blessings..
So my new house seems to be that of an ant colony as well.
Me - being fully prepared for the worst, i got professionals to spray the house for every type of insect there is so well that you can still smell the spray after a month... yes it's the smell of safety....
But that only solved part of the problem - now, each day i stumble on a dozen or more dead ants.

So while i was getting all worked up about all those dead ants and it's been bothering me for a while now, a friendly visitor crawled out of the drains (i suppose) and decided to wander around the house. The poor bastard didn't make it past 2 meters (remember the srpay!) and it died a slow miserable death.
And while a dead cockaroach sure beats the hell out of a live one, it also reminded me that dead ants are not so bad,, it could be..worse so much worse... especially with my designated cockaroach killer/dispenser hanging out in the hot deserts of america.

So it's 2 am and i realize that this "i have been meaning to" approach i have had towards sealing all the holes and drains is not going work. So i waged a campaign to seal every hole and drain regardless of size and place and finished my task sucessfully at 2:30 with only a little sweat!
Needless to say i slept with a big smile on my face and the sweet smell of disinfectant on my hands :)

P.S. Ant colony, if you are reading this don't think i have given up on you...i WILL find you and eliminate you at the source...i called for back-up (i love u mom)
your end is near, very near...
