There they came. First by tens, then by hundreds and finally by the thousands.
The ants were coming to clean house.
I have had them before and learned the hard way that all you can do is sit back, relax, and let them do whatever thousands of ants do inside houses.
These ants, however, were not as disciplined as the ones i had earlier who made lines, ten to twelve ants wide giving you ample space to walk around the house; no, these ants were disorderly, spreading all over the floors and up the walls.
When they invaded my couch I moved to my bedroom and sat on the bed, resting, till they entered that sanctum and forced me out. By then, fortunately, they were finished doing their stuff in the TV room, so I sat through some show, watching the slowly diminishing amount of ants finally forming lines and leaving the house.
Maybe these ants were more disorderly, but they did not leave as many dead comrades behind as did the more militaristic ones.
A lesson here ?
