BJ and I had an insane ant problem at in the second apartment we lived in. We had to keep all of our non-refrigerated food on the table in the dining room because the ants didn't seem to be able to get over the carpet to find it. I'm convinced that entire building is just a good rainfall away from collapsing into the gargantuan ant colony that resides beneath it.

The only invaders that get killed in this house are spiders. Crickets (and that one random lizard) get moved outside; if there's ants, I just remove the food source and they leave. Spiders, though, are out to get me and I am not having it.
