=S

In the office.. At the site itself, besides being mosquito feeders and bug escapers, we are now ant killers too.

6 teams' snack packs were infested with ants today. The packs were still fine yesterday. The ants literally chewed through the plastic, and swarmed into the biscuits!

All the biscuits and tins supporting the packs were overrun with ants. Big ones, small ones.. I observed them for a while. Interesting! They're like 2 way traffic - neatly going to and from the food source. The big ants chewed the holes and the small ones got the food out. Jl was asking how long it would take for the ants to clear up all the food.

We did not want to find out. Jr bravely picked the packs up and threw them away. Then he swept away the rest as if they were only dust.

Jl then took our only can of pesticide, and sprayed those outside the office door. They have gotten everywhere!! Probably some nest somewhere.

Not like we can help it. We should get used to it! This being a rustic area and all..

It's just soo... Gross.
