I made it through the weekend. Had to move another couple the next morning due to his wife (ice queen, aka beeatch) seeing 8 ants in her room. It's never good when a guest asks if they can talk to you privately. I did go out and got the DE powder from Lowes. I put as much powder as I could all along the perimeter of the two rooms and bathrooms. I was able to keep it in the room for 3 days before more guests were checking in. Went back in yesterday and one room saw one ant and the other I saw 5. Today 2 and 0 in the other room. The pest control came by this morning to put some of their powder in both rooms inside and out and bait down in the crawl space. I can't wait until this is over. We have guests checking into the one room today that have been here before. I will let them know about the ants and they should only see a few now or give them the option to move. I have blocked a few rooms for the weekend just in case. It's going to hurt $$ wise for blocking on a holiday weekend, but it'll help keep my sanity if in fact the ants are too much for someone.
Hard to believe this weekend is Memorial Day!
Breathe breathe breathe.. we have a full house this weekend and one of our rooms still has ants. They are carpenter ants and we've put the liquid baits down for a few days, had exterminator come and today guests are checking in that room and there are still ants. Not quite as bad as they were but they are still there. There isn't a hotel room to be had since it's college graduation. I am keeping my fingers crossed the guests are understanding and I can move them tomorrow if they can hold out one night in the room. I plan on telling them when they check in that I just noticed them today when cleaning.. (a little white lie) I went in the room in the past hour and saw two. So the numbers are getting smaller, but we'll see if the guests think it's a big deal or not. I will kill them with kindness.. thanks for listening, had to vent to someone who would understand my stress!
