Update: Invasion Confirmed...

Curious, I peeked back into the guest room this morning before work and discovered the ants have painstakingly begun to recreate...well...whatever this is:



Also - the flying/dying ants are back only according to my Dad, who knows everything worth knowing, there are no flying ants.  If it has wings, it is a termite.  

Totally grossed out, I stopped on my way home from work today and bought Raid.  I picked the version bottled in the US of A, not Saudi Arabia, because everyone knows America is the best (as I found out the hard way when I bought Heinz ketchup bottled in Egypt).  

I cleaned up the pile-of-important-things being built by the ants and then worked my way throughout all the back rooms with the Raid, spraying the baseboards.  Tomorrow I will set off four of the bug bombs sent to me by Rachel (thanks for your foresight in sending 12 bombs!).  And hopefully I will emerge victor of this latest round...

There is one exception to the termite rule: ants fly while mating, and then the males die off. You should google "flying ants" to see which you've got!
