Yesterday was a day of storm and monsoon rains at intervals during the day. One of those days that I continued my career as an Ant Wrangler. The big question that is always asked is:
Why do I get ants when it rains?
The answer plain and simple is that " All insects, including ants, have the same basic needs as us: ants want shelter and food. When it rains, ants that live on the ground surface or underground are at risk of drowning. Therefore, the workers pick up eggs and other immature ants and seek out shelter in a dry place."
Actually Ant Wrangler can be frustrating profession... so much so that I became an Ant Exterminator. A few squirts of a poisonous spray and my huge ants population disappear with only a few casualties.
I really do not know where they go but as long as they leave, I am a happy Wrangler.
Now it is back to perfecting my tomato gravy... A story for another day... and No Poison Involved! 😂
