I really don’t like killing things, but ants have literally invaded my home, so I’ve had to do something.
Sprinkled some diatomaceous earth today. Watching a few stragglers just kind of meandering and basically not knowing what the fuck to do while they dehydrate and succumb to death has depressed me a little.
On a basic level, the way it works, it’s just cruel. Yeah, they’re not “sentient”, they’re mostly drones, etc., but still. Seeing this lonely ant kind of just… slowly dying and not knowing what to do is a bit heartbreaking.
I feel kind of bad.

i know how ya feel, but sometimes you gotta look out for you!
That’s rough… I always find death (in all forms) really heartbreaking to witness too. You had to do it, but that doesn’t always make it easier.
I’ve had ant infestations in my bedroom window. I understand completely how you feel, it is awful indeed.
