There they were, infesting the bedside drawer where I keep my secret chocolate stash. Ants! In everything, especially the candy! Augggh!
I unloaded the drawer and vacuumed. I moved the furniture out, found more ants and applied the remedy. I sealed the candy box, cleaned everything else. And thought I was out of the woods.
Then I looked at the covered plastic box. There were ants – a lot of ants – crawling around inside. It looked like there was no hope but to throw the candy away. . . and there were two of my favorite Milky Way Dark bars in there! Woe, woe, woe is me! But I really couldn’t imagine eating the extra “crunch”. Yuck!
As I worried the problem, I had an idea. Maybe I can kill the ants and still have the chocolate. If I put the whole box in the freezer, the ants would die and the candy would still be good.
Pleased with myself, I told Jenna, “I put my candy in the freezer.”
“Great idea!” she replied. “The ants won’t find it in there!”
