These ants

I HAVE found out that these new species (or whatever) of ants do not have regard for our plants and fruits.

They settle on any plant and its fruit and enter our homes as if the house belongs to them.

Lines and lines of these ants move around just anywhere except flying which at the moment they are incapable of.

Our own ants were just confined to their own domes on the soil only to be attracted by the sweetness of our homes that were just cooked or sweets. These new ones do not even leave the chillies alone, all the chilly plants are also loaded with their comrades.

They are invading our homes while we sit and watch while locked in our homes and compounds most of the times during this pandemic period.

A friend advised me not to kill them as they have been introduced for a reason.

What to do? White flies, garden pests and now these ants.

Cockroaches — beware. “Karais” man.
