This year was rather warm and the bugs are expected to be 3x worse (at least)Already, we found ants in our bedroom (the big black ones)We removed all food, vacuumed, picked up everything, and sprayed Raid over the windows, the door to the hallway, and all around the bottom of the wallsI sprayed my car doors after finding a spider in thereAnyways, back to the bedroomI washed all the clothes in the room and the sheets to ensure there were none in there, eitherAre they going to come back? I'm laying here in bed worrying, I hate ants!
no matter how you slice it,it was chicken feed for the salesman,now finish the joke,did he slleep in the barn ,or the house?
The number of grains on any square n will be 2^(n-1)It can be shown by a bit of algebra that the number of grains on all squares, up to and including n, is 2^n - 1[The stunt is to recognize that xy - 1 factors into (x-1)(x^(y-1) + x^(y-2) + +1)]Thus, the total to fill the board is 2^64 - 1 grains, which is 16 x 2^60, or about 16 x 10^18If there were a million grains to a bushel (there aren't that many), that would be 1.6 x 10^13 bushels - far more than the US produces in a year.
chances are they will be back.sounds like carpenter ants that live in voids.aluminum tubing around windows is most common area I locate them in a homedoubtful what you sprayed will have any effect on the ants after a few daysWhether you see more depends on where they decide to forage, if they head outside from the window area you may not se them again, though the issue is not gone.
