Ants...YUCK!

So we have been having an issue with carpenter ants near our kitchen table :/ Not fun! There aren't a ton of them, it's not like we are infested by any means. However, there are enough for it to be an annoyance. Our landlord put down some traps and it's helped a little, but I just want them to be GONE. Completely.

I guess with these kind of ants, they burrow down into the ground and get into the structure of the house. Our Landlord said that she was going to do some digging and find the root of the problem. I guess when it is rainy, they burrow down really far so it's nearly impossible to find them on such days. Living in Seattle, that's practically the weather everyday. Luckily, this weekend is supposed to be pretty nice so hopefully we can get this taken care of and move on :)

I was squishing the bugs (sorry for that gross vision, but it's life) and sweeping the dead ones into a dust pan and Joy says to me "We should call up Betty White and have her take care of these bugs."

"Betty White?" I ask confused, thinking I must have misunderstood her.

"Yeah, Betty White! You know from Golden Girls" Joy replies.

"Oh, well I never knew that squishing bugs was one of Betty White's expertise" I say laughing.

"Oh yeah. She's very talented." Joy says.

So Betty White, if you're out there: Please come over here and help me with these bugs. They are driving us nuts!

Sincerely,
Whitney and Joy
