Good morning, friends. An update from the ant farm.

Today I went to the kitchen for breakfast and the ants had taken up the kitchen again. I took away some utencils, cleared up some some on the counter and sprayed the anti grease spray there. It seems to be the best for the kitchen and it is not dangerous for me if I wash everything later. So my breakfast is a piece of bread and butter, although I have half an avocado in the fridge. But my hunger subsided and I was not interested in staying there until most of the ants were dead and the ant army was not there. I will stay in my bedroom for a while sipping my coffee. With more energy, I´ll go fight the monsters. But I have discovered that not everybody thinks as I do. When I was at Dixie´s. cAmila called her mother. Among the things she told her was that she had an ant invation in her kitchen. When Dixie was about to give her some ideas about how to get rid of them, Camila said that "they were so cute" and that they did not kill ants or roaches. OMG! I thought in a state of shock. But we are all different. Anyway, I do hope that ants are dying in my own kitchen. And every day, as part of giving Luna her dinner, I take out a bit heater full of boiling water to throw in the crevises between the concrete at the terrace. That´s where the ants come out to eat part of Luna´s food. I´m now to my notifications. See you there.

I´m waiting for your thoughts about the winning of Trump in so many States. I´m worried.

@marguicha He will be the nominee. I am hoping that he doesn't beat Biden. I like Biden but I wish that we had someone like Gavin Newsom or Elizabeth Warren running instead.

@NJChicaa As I see it from the outside, Biden is a good President but he is too old for another 4 years. Presidents age twice as much during office in any country. I remember Obama´s youthfull face when the started and how tired he looked later. I can´t understand why your country does not have a younger candidate. And I can´t understand either why so many Americans think that being Democrats is being so very left side in politics.

I was shocked by the use of the word "cute" by Camila. I have been fighting ants all this summer and thinking how to do it in such way that it would not hurt Luna or myself.

@wolfgirl569 I don´t mind ants outside either. I have had a pact with them for decades. But this year they decided to invade MY house.

@marguicha Different people like different things. I don't mind ants when they stay outside. But they still are not cute

@marguicha - Ants always enter in a small area in one of the bathrooms, at least they never invade the kitchen.

I woukd never refer to them as cute. They are so hard to get rid of. When I had them i poured salt where they were coming in and that got rid of them. Apparently they won't go through salt.

I tried several ways that friends here told me. Finally, I´m using boiling water (my grandma´s recipe) for ants near Luna, anti greasy in the kitchen (Anita´s discovery) and Raid in the rest of the house.

I never thought that ants or roaches are cute. I want to get rid of them as soon as possible if they appear in my place.

Me too. I won´t pursue them in the garden but my house has to be free of any bugs.

We have fruit flies no matter how clean the kitchen is or garbage is out. They drive me crazy! I have to fight over my morning tea. I put a piece of paper over my cup. I have a cup with a lid on but I can't find it.
