Well isn't this just lovely.. *vent*
Yesterday there was a funky - I mean fun-KY - odor coming from our master bath. Musty grossness. It's also been pretty wet around here the last two days - more rain that we've gotten a lil while. J is off work this morning (and thankfully the next two days) so he decided to break into the wall behind our shower to see if there was something going on back there. This smell has happened twice in the last couple months - both during times of heavy rains. This isn't looking good. So he breaks into the wall (which is in a closet thankfully haha) and what does he find first before anything else? A goddamn carpenter ant nest. Jesus.
Now, we've seen carpenter ants randomly. And even spoke with an exterminator about it - he didn't come check out our house, but based on the number of ants we've seen (just random ones near the front door of the house, and never any swarming) he said they were probably just infesting the tree in our front yard. We treat the tree every spring and it keeps them away, no big deal. We're not sure how they are getting in the house - but you know how ants are. Ugh. Although I will admit the last couple days I feel like I've seen quite a few more but figured with the warm weather and then the rain it's just expected - plus it's time for our bug treatments anyway and J just hasn't gotten to the bug-treatment-store (lol or wherever he gets the stuff). But I didn't expect a goddamn nest in the wall. Not to mention, all the wood in that area is like weirdly moist so now along with getting rid of the nest, we need to figure out what is going on with that - and possibly rip out the master shower. W...T....F.....
And let me not forget to mention that the closet in the new baby's room is still not built. And my parents are planning to come down from Missouri to stay HERE... in our house... OMG, I'm going to have a heart attack.

OOOOOHHHH!!! OMG I know what they are now. EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK! We'd be paying an exorbitant amount of money for an emergency exterminate b/c I'd be flipping the fruck out!!!
Are carpenter ants the small tiny ones? We've been having an issue in our master bath with them for a couple of months here and there...but always in one spot..wait do carpenter aunts bite? Because I got bit by one of these little bastards but they're not the normally looking fire ants.
We researched it and it appears down here especially that is a problem especially in bathrooms.
That really sucks
