Of Pests and Piles

Yesterday was just like any other day at the Brown's, only this time with some unwanted visitors.
I had noticed a few days ago that the house was becoming an ant hill and cockroach haven and that something needed to be done. Most of the problem is due to the fact that no one (apparently) knows the meaning of cleaning up after ones self, or no one wants to admit that they left the bread on the counter that is now covered in little sugar ants. The other reason for this terrible insect invasion is the Rabbit farm located right next to the house, not to mention the piles of dog poop left in the history room by Flaco. Armed with a bottle of pest control I began to look for the breeding places of these various unwelcome guests. I hit the jack pot out side, in the Rabbit food container(a 10 gallon mental can with a lid), which someone,who will go unnamed, left open sometime in the last week. Rabbit food, mixed with rain water, which then starts to mold is the perfect spot for ants,termites,cockroaches, and maggots, it also emits a smell that is liable to make you throw up. Lillian, my faithful companion, who always helps me dealing with the gross things in life came out to be my moral support and the hose holder in cleaning out the sickening can. 2 cups of bleach, muddy feet and gallons of water later the container was clean a insect free!
