I am coming back as an Ant

A few weeks ago my dinner table was overtaken by ants. One would expect to see a few ants in the kitchen from time to time but these ants stayed hidden until I set the food on the table. It was not a huge amount of ants, just enough of them to be noticeable and annoying. The ants seem to materialize out of no were but I knew better. I knew there was a colony somewhere and more than likely it was in my yard. My first defence against the invaders was to spray them then try and guess where they had entered my house and spray there also. I thought my ant saga was over but it was only the first battle with these hide and seek creatures. A few days later they attacked again, this time going straight for the bag of Tortilla chips I had been saving to make nachos. Now I knew what I was dealing with, they were Dope Heads. They had the munches and were not going to stop messing with me until they got their fix. It was no time to be humane to the ants. They had not learned their lesson when I sprayed them so now it was time for them to meet their Dooms Day. I searched my yard, finding their colony only twenty feet from my front door. I made sure they would not survive my second assault by covering their nesting area with Fire Ant poison. Surly these nacho stealing piss ants would not survive the poison made to kill the fearsome Fire Ant.
The ants have not returned but unfortunately that means nothing. They are probably just waiting for me to buy another bag of Tortilla chips then they will regroup and plan another attack.

    You seem to forgot something on youR education of ant life. It may be true that the Queen is only there to reproduce and the remaining ants primary job is to take care of her needs. Then you say she is not the Queen or should I say boss. Well let me ask you this..........If she's not the BOSS or the QUEEN ant, then how come when she dies the rest of the ants move on???????? And in the never forgotten words of Perry Mason---I REST MY CASE!!!!! YBB
