You're Asian, you must be smart, right?

So ants had once again invaded my bathroom. Having realized that killing their scouts did little to no good with regard to stopping their assault, I busted out the poison food that had proved so effective in stopping them in other parts of the house. I grabbed it just before I was going to sleep the other day and put it down on the counter as I did my nightly routine before going to bed.

When I wake up in the mornings, I often can't see very well. I wear night and day lenses, and upon lucidity, my eyes are very dry. Thus, it takes a bit of time and usually a bit of water/solution in the eyes to see. After washing my face and just as I was brushing my teeth, a flood of black crap all over my counter brought to my attention that I left the stupid poison thing right next to my sink. They luckily left most of my crap alone, so I didn't have ants all over my toothpaste and such, but still the sheer flood of them was kinda scary. I wish I'd had a camera with which to take a picture.

Now, maybe half a day later, my sink area is entirely clear of ants. Thank goodness for poisons. Not that I particularly enjoy that I needed to utterly destroy that colony of ants, but if you force my hand in a situation where running or a peaceful solution isn't possible, then I'll do what it takes to keep my way of life.
