No matter how clean your house or hotel room is they seem to just appear out of nowhere.The ants are not unique to Isla because you see them in Hawaii everywhere too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-61103294777809371072008-10-03T20:09:00.000-05:002008-10-03T20:09:00.000-05:00Well, slowly getting better - just that one dose o...Well, slowly getting better - just that one dose of ants did the trick! Thanks to all for your thoughts, and I am glad I am not where the temperature is below 40!<BR/><BR/>Zina - several months ago I bought a bag of rice at the tienda down the street. The next day I went to cook it - not boiled, but stirred in the frying pan. I noticed something coming to the surface that looked like ants, and upon closer inspection - yup, that's what they were. Checked out the bag and the devils were crawling around in there. I dumped everything in the garbage and headed back to the same tienda. They brought out two bags, and the first had the ants. The lady told me to immerse the rice in water very quickly and clean out the ants - which might have worked if that's how I was going to cook it. The second bag looked ok, so I took it home and cooked half - putting the other half in the fridge. The next time I went to use it, there were the ants. So now all my rice goes right into the freezer, along with my sugar (can't keep ants out of that either).Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-42014696482826120582008-10-03T17:00:00.000-05:002008-10-03T17:00:00.000-05:00So sorry to hear that you are sick.

I didn't own the box more than a week when I saw the tiny ants inside. So, I put it in the freezer to kill the ants. Today is dry and sunny and I am rinsing them out in the colander and store it in the freezer once sun dried!<BR/> Feel better soon!IslaZinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086331911846338751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-77069537313041530762008-10-03T08:33:00.000-05:002008-10-03T08:33:00.000-05:00Hope you feel better soon Sue!
