Ant

Upset by the horror caused by ants that plundered into my computer

Ants are moving inside my computer monitor
I feel helpless where to find an exterminator

What the humans have done to the ant community
Why they come in groups to attack our property
Who is responsible to invite this menace
How can we get rid of such penance

Ants plundered our sugar and bread
They damaged clothing by eating thread
They eat flowers and roots of plants in the garden
They carry away food of pets and human
They bite and inject painful formic acid
I wonder why they have so much greed 

I am totally upset by this tiny vermin
It has conspired to stop my writing

ants are to be admired for their communal lifestyle and their strength and intelligence. now, that being said..i worked for a major pest control company for 4 years. here is what to do. go out to the feed and seed or dept store and find something called "terro" ant traps. they will find it, feed on it, take the poison back to the queen and that will destroy the whole colony. that is the only way!!!!

I am very fortunate to have such a great exterminator among the talented writers.It would not have been possible to locate you had not the ants invaded my computer.
I am very grateful for such great suggestion.I am afraid that "terro" ant traps may not be available in our market.
Thank you again for stopping by and offering the precious contribution.

describe it to your hardware store manager. he will point you in the right direction. there are many brand names for the same product. it is a tiny plastic box filled with a clear insecticide which ants cannot resist, they swarm into it and stay there until they have consumed it, then they take it to their queen and feed it to her...when it kills her they all die or move on....usually the former.

This is a great information.
I will check with the hardware store manager soon.
Thank you dear friend for your generous support.

[quinfinn]

good luck!

I found Terro in the pensticide section of my supermarket.

[quinfinn]

Thank you for the precious information.
I will seek your help to control my ants.

We always used original grits, not the instant kind. i think it works the same. a friend of mine suggested it and he did pest control for a few years to. it seems to work for him when i visited him in Georgia.

Haha this is ironic (at least to me) seeing that there is an ant on my computer screen right now as I write this! Anyways, as a lover of ants I understand your pain. They sometimes show up in the worst places! I really liked the rhyme and the strait-forwardness of this piece. Great job, I hope you take care of your ant problem soon!

Thank you Imara for sharing your experience with ant.I am getting frightened about the fate of my computer.At this moment,there are about 15 ants patrolling like soldiers across the monitor.I can't imagine any solution to drive them away.
I asked my son,a CSE student if there is any solution.He told that he knew nothing about any solution.He reported that his laptop has also been invaded by ants.
I understand that only a miracle can save me from the invasion of ants.
However,I must appreciate you for your generous compliments and admiring review.
Have a lovely time. :)
Please take care.

[Imara]

Oh gosh! That's insane! You could probably look something up online that may help. Best of luck!

[zainul]

I am looking and talking for solutions.
It appears that the case is a bit complicated.
However,let's hope for the best.

That "small but terrible" insects... They are just finding way to live.
Perhaps there's something sweet or something to eat from your monitor. A reminder: Don't eat while using your computer.

But when it comes to your poem here, you are such brilliant to put that sentiment into a cute piece like this. Hope you resolve your problem soon. :)

[zainul]

Thank you Dhaye for the pragmatic suggestions.
I will investigate to find the real cause of invasion of ants into the monitor.
I will continue to seek solutions from the users of this site and elsewhere.
I feel honored by your generous compliments.
Have a nice time. :)

Amazing little workers they are and so annoyingly persistent ( :

[zainul]

They are showing amazing rivalry against human and their artifacts.
They are annoyingly persistent too.
Thanks for stopping by to grace this piece.
I have to look on to see when they will quit the monitor.

yes, what did we do to deserve this revenge?

cute poem..but not a "cute" problem to have.

[zainul]

Thank you Jacob for coming to rescue me from the state of helplessness.
I have to look on hours into the monitor where the tiny ants have established siege of the monitor.
Thanks for the amazing review.
