The Argentine ant supercolony has moved into my kitchen.

The difficulty in ant eradication is one frustrating part of living in a building where one face is inaccessible to the pest control contractor (due to the presence of two locked gates). The ants live in the ground, and they walk into the building. However, I worry that the ants are living on the north side of the building and evading pest control.

Also, how can I feed enough poison to the ants if they are also invading my neighbors’ kitchens? Is there any way to politely buy everyone in the building a set of poisoned sugar water to put in their apartments? Poisoned sugar water is cheap (it would cost me less than $40 for enough for the whole building), and I could order it on Amazon and have it shipped to every unit in the building. But while my mathematician brain says that this is the logical thing to do (unify against our common enemy), I expect that some of my neighbors would not be happy to receive some surprise poisoned sugar water.

Oh well, I guess this means that I will have to give up fancy Starbucks drinks and avocado toast so that I can save up hundreds of thousands of dollars so that I can buy a house-house in San Diego and pay to have professional grade poison sprayed anywhere I want on the property.
