For the last several weeks, I’ve scaled back my efforts on the frontlines of my war on the ants. When I open the doors of my bathroom and kitchen sink cabinets to get things, I’ll do a quick look around to see if I can observe any ants. These aren’t completely thorough observations but I haven’t seen any. It doesn’t mean they aren’t there though.
I have no doubt they are still transiting along the threshold between my bathroom and bedroom though. That’s where the battle was fought last, when I spent some appreciable time and effort into observation and sealing of cracks and holes. Since then, the ants have not affected my day-to-day life. That’s a subjective statement though. Who knows what they’re doing behind my walls. For ants, out of sight might mean out of mind, but that doesn’t mean they’re doing nothing.
I feel like once spring rolls around, I’ll need to sit down on the floor, and make new observations to see where they’re coming from and where they are going.
