Hello! Our kitchen is infested with ants :))) Bugs have always scared me, so it was very disheartening when I came to the realization that I couldn’t escape from them inside. It started off as just a few ants here and there. One night, I accidentally left a fork in the sink and woke up the next morning to find ten ants on it. I drowned them. I warned all my roommates about the ants and, for the first three days, everything was fine. But then, we got a baguette. We left the baguette on the fridge in its original bag. The ants immediately seized the baguette. I tried tying up the baguette in a plastic bag, still leaving it on the fridge. The ants gathered around it. I threw the baguette in the trash can, still tied up in the bag. The ants invaded the trash can. I’ve now tied up the trash bag with the plastic bag with the baguette, and I proceeded to douse the remaining ants in nail polish remover. Fingers crossed.

*Update: Fingers uncrossed. The ants are back. They’ve managed to infiltrate plastic wrap, and we woke up to find roughly thirty of them on a, previously covered, half-eaten pastry. We were so disgusted, we decided to just throw away the entire plate (after tying it in a plastic bag). We’ve left out watermelon and sugar, but the ants continue to only go after the bread and baked goods. Unfortunately, bread and baked goods are very popular in our apartment.
