Ants In Pantry—Ants On
§iielf-In Fact Ants Even
In Bathtub Bring Worry
Bats in the tielfry may bother some people but it’s
“ant£ in the pantry” thatjjrovide the greatest worry for
Cuero housewives just at this time.
There are little ants and big ants—red ants and
black ants—but no good ants.
They tafckle anything from aji oak tree to a pair of
silk stockings.
They are in the sugar, in the beans, even in the.,
bath tub;
For a full fledged invasion of the tiny warriors
Cuero boasts the perfect product and housewives are
just about at theiir wits end.
The only sure cure found to date as far as we have
been able to learn is a brick grasped firmly in the right
hand or left hand if you are a^port sider.—said brick to
be dropped firmly on the bobbing head of each and every
ant found negotiating the dining room rug cr the kitch-
en sink.
Springing from scores of tiny ant hills sunk hardly
before the surface of the ground, the pests multiply by
the tens and twentie^over night. A probe into one of the
nests reveals hundreds of tiny whRe eggs, each bearing
another source otf worry for the housewife.
®Continued wet weather which allows the tiny insects
to burrow at will is blamed for the great numbers found
in practically every yard.
One citizen reported his radio invaded by the ants
and delicate connections damaged to the extent that a
complete over-haul of the radio was necessary.
A housewife reported a pair of silk stockings upon
Which she had carelessly dropped some sugared water
shredded by the pests.
Still another reported his bed invaded in the middle
of the night and a swolefi foot, pricked, as if with a
hundred pins, as proof. '
A return of hot, dry weather will end the invasion
those familiar with the secrets of nature inform us.
Meanwhile a full grown ant-eater or a Modern Pice’.
Piper whose sweet notes would entice ants rather than
rats, would prove mighty popular with the hand that
rocks the cradle in Cuero.'
