Deadant
The battle was well fought, but I have, however, won the war!
The invading armies have been conquered. No prisoners were taken. I have no idea how many different armies I had to fight. One was advancing from the South east, one from west, one from the north and I think one was coming from the east. We were surrounded. I do not know if these were troops from one command post or troops from several command posts. I only know there were millions of them. I do know that they joined forces as no matter which direction they came from there was only one trail into the kitchen (except the one that was coming fromm the east). How ever once they got into the kitchen they branched off in 4 different directions so that they could all meet up again around the sink area.
My line of defense consisted of 10 doses of Terro Ant killer in 5 different places. But still they advanced and fought. Took over 24 hours for them to fall back. Then this morning we noticed a few more running around. We do not know if these were walking wounded from the previous skirmish or a scouting party for a new advancement. If they were walking wounded, we put them out of their misery. If they were an advance scouting troop, their commander must have decided that since his scouts did not return that it would not be advantagous to move his troops in at this time.

I am cracking up laughing. That was hillarious!!! I had the same battle and used Tero around my fridge and by the window over the sink and then tero by the sink. I think I have them whipped now but it has been a bad year for ants it seems. Then I logged on and saw your journal entry. How funny!! Thanks for starting my day with a little humor.
