Zerg in my Bedroom!

So recently I had been seeing some ants in my room. They were tiny, like zerglings, and there were only one or two, which I was able to kill off quickly, so it didn't bother me that much. Looking back, they must have been scouting out my room while their giant colony was spawning. My roommate was bothered by them, so she had something done.

I woke up this morning to an exterminator, checking for ant problems. Yes, we had ant problems, that's why we called him. He looked at all the dead ants under the radiator and took out a bottle with a long tube attached and sprayed something along the bottom of it. That should do it, he said, and left. 

Zerg Rushed


About an HOUR later, I'm just sitting at my desk, and get ATTACKED by a giant swarm of ants. They all decided to come out of their hiding place and have a party all over my floor. Yep, it was just like I got zerg rushed. A massive amount of creepy little bugs, crawling all over the place, getting into everything, decided to invade when I was unprepared.

What was I supposed to do?! I didn't have any insecticides, and there were so many of them that no matter how many I killed by hand, more came to take their place. I tried sweeping them, squishing them, throwing things at them... I even tried to drown them with Febreze - which kind of worked, by the way. Eventually I mopped up as many as I could with a Swiffer, tied up all the bugs in a bag, still living, and threw them in the dumpster. 

But I couldn't go back to my room. Not when I knew what horrors awaited me.


The SWARM in my stairwell.


They're scared of camera flashes. And Febreze.

I think I scared them away.  That, or the exterminator's plan was to make them all come out of their hiding place and have me deal with them.  Either way, I keep my Febreze and my Swiffer around just in case. I've experienced the worst, and I know what to expect.  Death.


Concerning real Starcraft II, I finally got ranked haha. It's not pretty, but at least I'm not 100 Bronze.  I've also abandoned Nexus Wars.  My new favorite custom game is Squadron Tower Defense. Come play!
