Journal Prompt ~ Pests

Today's Prompt: Pests

Have you ever had a pest in your home? What sort are common where you live? Ants, spiders, roaches, mice, snakes, maybe something larger?




I'm sure everyone gets pests at some time or another.  Ants are a big problem where I live now . . . the main floor of a concrete apartment building.  Each spring the ant traps go down and that seems to keep them under control.  The biggest problem is that it is common for ants to remove their dead friends from the colony at night so in the mornings there is sometimes a pile of sand and dead ants to deal with . . . sigh . . . 

They are back again this year because I've already seen a few.  Time to stock up on traps.
