dear diary - ants

dear diary,
recently i saw a rare occurrence for the first time in around five years. it just seemed to be motion on the door of a cabinet and then i turned my head and saw one ant on it. that alerted me to open the cabinet and see what the ant was after... yes a long row of ants marching along the front of the food cabinet pantry. what could they want? every container was closed.
first i grabbed the soft-plastic honey bottle and washed the outside then i flipped open the flip-lid and there they were... somehow four ants had squeezed between the flip-lid and the lid. so i rinsed the flip lid and stood the bottle in a rectangular plastic "microwave heater pan" so others would not climb in.
next to deal with the invaders.
i emptied all my stuff out of the cabinet and wiped the ants out with a rag.  last i sprayed the edges of the cabinet-joint [ i mean mathematical edge of two intersecting-plane-s] with bug chemical and waited.
the attack of the ants was the first time in years that i had ants in a pantry. last time was around 5 years ago when i lived in the university dorm and i saw ants on the door of the cabinet used by a flatmate. i ran to the dorm office and requested spray which i needed "now immediately before the ants spread everywhere" after leaving a deposit [which i recovered when i returned the spray bottle] i had emptied the flatmates food onto the kitchen table and sprayed his food pantry with chemicals.
i also recalled a childhood memory which i will now add as diary.
i was walking to a neighbor as a child and saw white ice cream melting on the cement path leading from the car to the home door. so when i was invited in i told them that ice cream is melting so they said they will take care of it in a few minutes. then they invited my to watch t-v which was good bkuz my parents told me [a lie] that our tv was broken... only years later i took it from the closet and it worked revealing the dirty lie to prevent me from "enjoying things every normal kid is allowed" to enjoy. at least at the neighbors house i watched tv i remember watching a rerun of classic batman.
at the end of the episode i awoke and recalled the ice cream melting so i called the host and we looked at the melting ice cream together and by now a swarm of ants was all over and around the white liquid ice cream. she went inside and soon a few minutes later brought boiling water and poured it all over the pile of ice cream and ants. they stopped moving instant death. so from then on when i saw anthills on my lawn i would boil water and pour it on the ant hills. this time they were in a cabinet so they were spared the hot water. hopefully they will bring the spray back to their home and the other ants will all be poisoned because there are just so many of them and they get into food and sugar and stuff. and they are far from extinction to the point of being pets keep two in a jar and kill all the rest.
