Ants!!

Today Geo and I went to Burger King after his long therapy session for the surgery. He passed, and I just have to go back there on Thursday to pick up the paperwork. We have had ants on our car before, but nothing too bad. Then suddenly when we go back to the car the floor was *covered* in ants. We kept brushing them out, but more and more would come. We check the door (where the door meets the car) and there was a bunch of wet leaves. The ants were there, covering all the leaves. I start to sweep out the leaves and found a bunch of ant eggs in there too! I don't know why we hadn't had so many ants before today, but there was just a ton! Geo even had a small nest in his door. I swept them all out and we went home. I go back to the car with a broom to get the rest of the nest out. Hopefully we can stay ant-free. It's just that we park under a tree sometimes and the leaves get stuck in the car, and we get bugs coming in as well. We now park in a different spot and this is the first major outbreak of ants. 
I've been having trouble breathing and so at my doctor's visit today he asked me how I was doing and he basically gave me an asthma treatment. I don't know if the insurance will cover my meds... I hope they do. He put me on symbicort and prednisone. I should pick them up tomorrow when I have time. I have to go back tomorrow to get an x-ray done. I'm sure everything is going to be okay.

Ants - for the small red ants I use corn meal - they take it back to the nest and since they can not digest it they DIE! I am not sure if it works for all types of ants.
It is great that you have some meds for your breathing. Have you checked out goodrx.com for getting discounts with prescriptions?

I hope by now you are feeling better with your breathing. Have you gotten rid of the ant problem now that the nest is gone?
