I had a whole post planned for this morning about the horrors of cleaning out my laundry room. Yes, children, I have cleaned my laundry room out before AND told you about it, but I MEAN it this time. However, when I went to the car this morning to take Jeffrey to school, I discovered that it was covered over with fire ants.
OMFC. WTF? ARRRRRRGGGHHHHH.
It's hot. It's been rainy. So they're in my car and I should be used to it and thank the File Cabinet they aren't in my house but I'm not used to it and I'm not thankful and ARGGGGHHHHH!!!
In fact, I'm so not thankful and used to it and ARGGGHHHHH-filled that this morning while waiting for Will to come pick up Jeffrey because yeah, you try to get your Aspie in a car roiling with fire ants, my friends, OH and ALSO? I can't find my keys. SCORE!! Anyway, while I was waiting for Will (I'm pretty sure I didn't finish that sentence. I rock.) I became so unthankful and not used to it and ARRGGGGH-filled that I made a very blurry, nearly incoherent video of the ants. You can't actually see the ants because I didn't auto-focus properly, probably because I am FRICKING INSANE from the fire ants, but trust me THEY ARE THERE.
I can't stand it. Now I have to go get some crackers and pickles (no, I'm not pregnant, but sometimes I think Jeffrey is, because that's what he eats for lunch every day) and maybe some ant bait and POSSIBLY A BAZOOKA to KILL THE REST OF THE LITTLE BASTARDS.
Have a nice day.
Update: OMFC, the ants have taken over River's carseat and she cannot get in it. I am trapped!!!
Update 2: HA! Suck it, Dingleberry (and your little ants, too.) I forgot that I was a bicycle commuter and then I remembered and so I betook myself to the Publix, got some ant traps, and am now anticipating widespread ant death. HA! Twice.

Urgh! Are fireants the red ones that bite? Or are they worse than that? I think the ant variations are different all over. Out west the red ones bit and the black ones were harmless except for the annoyance factor. In Michigan we had ants that formally made armies and fought battles and then ate each othere... in our living room (ick), but I haven't seen any red one. The black ones WILL bite, but seemingly only in self defense (like when the cat tries to eat one, they bite in her mouth... which I shouldn't find funny, but watching her, it sort of is)
Ha- I think the ants and cars are against us today- my scooter wont start (though I don't see any bugs)
I have a list of bugs I feel I am allowed to kill- ants, silverfish, cockroaches, misquitos, and black widows. Ants are the top of my list- my archenemy. Even if the ones I deal with are little and black, they still suck.
When I had my windshield replaced a couple of years ago, I watched the installer peel back the black rubber seal around the original glass, and tons of fire ants angrily poured out. They were everywhere. I was agog, but he shrugged and told me very matter-of-factly that "if you live in Georgia, you got ants in your car."
Ha ha ha hah! It's like your my doppleganger! I had the exact same morning! Car filled with ants, Calvin's car seat over-run. Only they ARE also in my kitchen. I HATE this time of year. Ugh
Oh no. A fire ant infestation in the car is not good. It is humid over there in Dingleberry, isn't it? You might just need to pluck the little suckers out one by one. I have had a similar experience and they keep avoiding anything you spray. Plucking them out individually is strangely satisfying. Hope they don't bite any of those tender 'biking' areas if you know what I mean!
OMG I ♥ your voice! You sound just like I thought you would. Only with more of an accent (well, a different accent then mine anyhow).
Back on topic... that sucks about the fireants, hope the poison works!
