ants lead to...digging and poison!!!

Okay, we've been having this problem letely. ANTS!!! I hate them. Really hate them and have never really had to deal with them until now. We've had them coming mainly in our kitchen but in the bathrooms too??? What in the world. We've tried liquid poison, flaky and granual poison, home remedies to battle them inside...you name it!

Well this weekend was the first sunny one in a while and we headed outside to do some yardwork and we found a colony amazingly huge universe of ants all over the front landscaping. I mean on the bushes, house, dirt, etc and so on. The solution. RIP IT ALL OUT!!! And today, we did just that! The pictures explain it pretty well :)

don't know why it is blurry...

notice the long balde grass growing in the middle left. the bushes were scraggly and the ants everywhere!!!

after. we'll be planting after the ants are gone!

blahhhh!!!!

we took the top level off to attempt to completely annihilate the ants from all sides (up, down, and all around)!!! we found a fair share of slugs too...

if this doesn't work we're calling an exterminator!

90+ gallons of yard waste (and possibly some ants)

circle up! we don't want those critters to escape.

we also pumped poison into the bin...better safe than sorry!!!

Loki really wanted to be involved...

AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF...

THE ICE CREAM MAN!!!!!!!

i heard him coming as we were about to shut the garage door :)

after 3+ hours of working a reeces peanut butter cup ice cream bar was exactly what i needed!!!
