Nice Share.

I love black ants,,

Oh no, we’ll get ready to defend our place!…haha..

I love black ants.

Very good observation and a nice treat.Thanks for sharing.

Ants Ants Ants…..I like ants, an poem as well.

Any ant but the tiny red ones! I like this “antsy” piece and the picture too.

wow. those creatures look fierce! i love your poem. =p

But Christine don’t they remind you of the nature , i mean they invade us and by the time we are ready with remedy they disappear into their holes , to me they remind of the changing season ,the deligence, the preparedness for harder times and their group feeling.My daughter and I apply ” Laxman Rekha” as we call it here, a chemical chalk which when applied in their path makes them change their route.

BRAVO!!!!!! ENCORE!!!!!!!
We used to have a problem with aunts, we put a trap out and this year no problem. Now we have problems with fleas.
Good luck getting rid of your ants.
You have such a talent in poetry. I am learning to write it. Maybe one day I’ll post a poem.

It’s also ant season in our place. They surely are relentless! I love the way you wrote this piece. My kids will also enjoy this. Thanks

Thanks for sharing

Haven’t had a problem with ants in a while, but I remember when…

I like your article.

very interesting poem about ants!
I always give chances to ants, but they always come..

Army ants are perhaps the biggest invaders of homesteads and they can only be second to thieves.

Creepy crawlers… but we still need them lol… Good poem

I don’t know how true, but if you suddenly seem to be swarmed by ants everywhere, there is a chance that your house has termites also. Better have the woodworks checked to be sure. Ants are cute, but not when they get to your food first or worst, inside your ear…ouch!

funny — I once live in a neighborhood infested with ants. We were told to put out powdered sulphur. Soon we were the only house on that street without ants

you can put some cayenne pepper w/peppermint essential oil & water.. and spray.. a natural way to make them go away.. & in case you have puppies… they might smell the first time.. the cayenne pepper will irritate them; but not harm them and then the puppies will learn and not smell it again.. ants do not like peppermint oil or cayenne pepper…

Good luck! LOL

Interesting

Even in my third floor apartment I get invaded by ants every year. When I first moved in it was large black ants but now it is the small brown ants. They have left now, at least in massive numbers. I may still find a few, but they are not all over any more.

wow…..scary invasion…. lol

Fun poem, Wishing you to be the winner of the battle.

cool poem but I do hate ants!

I hate ants; we used to have a problem with them around a family member’s house but thankfully that has stopped. Great poem

Great verse.Poor ants!

Nice share.

Cute yet scary hate the little critters.

LIked the poem on ants. I am always cautious about them.

I can relate to this! Our son discovered a liquid ant killer the little ants love the taste of. he puts drops in their path on the fence outside his door and they take it back to their nest. They are truly master invaders.

A great poem loved the read I hope they march off soon!

We had an apartment in Texas while we were stationed there and we could never get rid of the ants. I hate the little beasts. You and your wonderful poems about anything and everything are so fun to read.

An interesting write. Yeah, many of us suffer this problem. It’s like they’re in hunger strike.

We are invaded once in awhile. I sprinkle salt where I see them and it kills the poor little things.

THat was a lovely poem. You can use salt to get rid of ants rather than using chemicals.

A terrific poem, very well composed. Darn those pesky ants! Thanks for sharing (:

Fabulous – although not for you with the invasion. I do love nature and all it’s creatures but have an agreement that they stay outside my home, and they will come to no harm. Of course unfortunately they often do not keep their side of the bargain, to their detriment.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I shall have to try them out.

Cute!

You have a way of turning the most mundane of things to very beautiful lines. What do I think of the ants? Where I stay, they are part of our everyday life.

Christine…it is amazing how the strongest creature can be so persistent in going after and getting what they want. This was a great rhyming poem and I like it a lot. Hope the ant powder works…had to chuckle at pattiann and her trouble with “AUNTS” but they used traps and no problem this year, but she didn’t say anything about “UNCLES”!!!

Great Work.

Thanks for share.

let me know if that stuff works for you. our ants have become immune to everything we’ve used this far.

good luck with the problem.

i really love reading your stuff, your very creative and can make a poem out of an ant invasion, how cool is that! you are an inspiration to me

A great share Christine shame you have the wee pests, cheers

I don’t mind a few wandering in once in awhile but when they come in armies I get my salt box out.

This was a great poem. I can definitely relate to it. We get ants every summer without fail.

Excellent. I’d used at powder too.

hehehe… I thought it’s alien invasion… good job for this well observed yet fun poem…

Nice share!

Very beautifully conceived, we too have them climbing our bed and computer table.The writing is commendable.

wow its like a scene from a high action fantasy drama
well, u have conquered the enemy, cheers

LOL. Cute!

I hate any invader, no matter how tiny or cute lol.
