Building a Tomb for Pharaoh

Monomorium Pharaonis

Pharaoh ants require special treatment.
If you spray for these ants you'll just scatter them throughout your home.

So, Yes I sprayed, because we have been battling Ants of one kind or another all summer, and all ants are the same.(Does that sound "specist"?) I run the sprinklers for them outside, but they prefer the water from the faucet inside with a side of canola oil from the side of the oil bottle. Have they scattered. I do not know. I do know that they refuse to take the bait I have put out for them that specifically says, "Attracts Pharaoh ants." Apparently they can not read.

I suppose I shall have to resort to just smashing the little guys with my thumb.

Stimulus Package

Maybe the Stimulus Package will work.

Last summer the county sprayed poison all over the city

to kill the West Nile Carrying Mosquitoes in the area.

Tonight there are thousands of these winged monsters waiting at my door

for my precious blood.

Maybe the insecticide was really a Mosquito Stimulus Package,

and maybe the new Financial Stimulus Package will work just as well.

Maybe the government knows what it is doing,

or

maybe, they just want my precious blood.
