Someone was kind enough to give me a piece of furniture that they didn’t need anymore, but once I moved it into my house I noticed that there were ants everywhere. I hate ants! They’re only on and around this new end table, though. It’s sitting next to a patio door and I’m not sure if the ants were in the table and its drawers to begin with, or if they came in through the door and just happen to be on the table because it’s right next to the door. I can’t believe they’d come from outside since it’s still well below forty degrees out most days. Either way it’s not a huge deal since a quick spray-down of the doorway and table with Raid killed every single one of the things, but I don’t know how they got in. There’s not even anything for them to eat because I keep an obsessively clean house.
Carpenter ants maybe. They burrow inside wood.
Put me down for Carpenter ants. Maybe they weren’t finished building the table
