the orc-ant war : battle 2

[be sure to read account of battle 1 below first to be able to keep up with the action!] So the smudged black pepper paste didn't work very well and I had to resort to an alternate bane of ants - the spearmint gum. So now the 'door to the moria' is framed and reinforced with unwrapped spearmint gum. And surprisingly, it did keep the evil orc-ants away (I just want to keep them away, not kill them, because even evil orc-ants have a right to live, just not in my house, that's all). One small victory for me today... hehehe
