Or, should I say: The Ants in My Rise?
It is 1:08 am, according to the clock on my computer, and I am up against my will. I had taken some melatonin, electing to retire early yesterday evening, in the hopes of waking up when it was cooler and then getting some work done. The ants, however, had other plans for me.
I don't know why they have, suddenly, decided that I am the perfect snack food. They were pretty much leaving me alone, until tonight. In the last few hours, though, they really made up for lost time.
Shaved or trimmed, you ask? Why settle for that, when you can have bitten? Do I have leg stubble? No, because the ants thoughtfully chewed it off, while they were leaving their little bumpy, oh so painful, love bites all up and down my calves and thighs. Does my butt look big? Well, the side with the giant welts from ant bites does!
After I realized the ants were attacking - which is a less than pleasant way to wake up, so I don't recommend my readers to try it at home - I found the talcum powder, dusted myself with it all up and down, wherever I could reach; and, then, I dusted the bed. I lay myself back down, after, preparing to ignore the stings of wounds already received and go back to blissful slumber.
That's when I found the ant whom had taken refuge on my right hip, and was now making it's way south; and, I killed it, after it bit me. This seemed to have stirred the ire of the ant that had just crawled under my left breast, whose death seemed to upset the one resting on my left hip. So, much tossing and turning, killing here, being maimed there, ensued.
Finally, I got up, slipped into a tank top and pair of boy cut undies, as it is too hot for much of anything else, determined to stay awake. Little did I suspect the ant that was hiding in the boy cut undies, which managed to leave said nasty welt on my posterior region before making its escape.
All Eliza Doolittle wanted was a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air, with one enormous chair - oh, and some chocolates. All I want, as of tonight, is some cold night air, and a friendly ant eater!

I discovered that my Lysol or Pinesol spray kill ants and spiders dead in their tracks in case you need a helping hand in a hurry. I lysol the heck out of my home. My brother swore I was only disenfecting the bugs until he was here once and there was a trail of ants outside and I sprayed them dead. Lil brother believes me now. Instant meat tenderizer mixed into a paste helps the itchy bites.

Oh you poor thing!
I do sympathise truly, I am alergic to fire ant bites and I swell up terribly, and then after the swelling has gone, blisters appear. Its simply dreadful.
For treatment of my bites I use 'Chiggers' insect bite cream, it works incredibly quickly and you heal much faster.
Have you seen where the nest is? feed the nest with Amdro. The food will be taken to the queen she will die which stops more eggs and the ants die too.
Good luck, and I do hope you feel better!!

Yep! Got ate up myself last night by the tiny black ants. Their bites don't really hurt, just sting enough to piss you off. Next time please enclose pics of you in tank top and boy shorts.
