			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weirdness abounds.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve dealt with ant intrusions into my home while living in various apartments all my life.&nbsp; It&#8217;s just something that happens occasionally.&nbsp; A call to the apartment complex to get the exterminator out usually ends things quickly.</p>
<p>Last week, I experienced a first.&nbsp; It appears that large black ants have taken up residence in the overflow opening of the sink in my guest bathroom.&nbsp; We saw them wandering around the bathroom so we had the exterminator out.&nbsp; They set out traps and sprayed and we saw several dead ants when we got home that day.&nbsp; I thought the problem was solved.</p>
<p>This morning, I went into the guest bathroom to fill our cat&#8217;s water bowl and noticed ants hanging around the overflow hole in the sink.&nbsp; A closer look revealed large headed soldier-looking ants just standing there guarding the hole with jaws large enough for a good bite.&nbsp; Uh oh&#8230; Looks like the traps haven&#8217;t done the job yet.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got another call into the apartment complex management.&nbsp; If I didn&#8217;t have a cat to worry about, I&#8217;d buy some <a href="http://www.terro.com/">Terro</a>, put it out, and be done with the little buggers.</p>
