My Migratory Kettle

[quinnavyre]

I keep my electric kettle on the floor in the loungeroom, when I'm not using it. Not only that, but I move it around, so in the course of a week it might move around the room: from the middle of the floor; to underneath the clotheshorse; to over near the TV cabinet; then back to the middle of the floor. Now, before you decide I’m crazy, I guess I should explain WHY I do this! =D It’s a “game” I play, called Evade the Ants. There’s another name for it, but it’s not quite as polite... *looks shifty* We have a problem with ants – we just can’t get rid of them. And the ants LOVE the kettle, and have an incredible ability to find it, no matter where I put it. I clearly can’t leave it on the bench, but they even found it in the cupboard, and on top of the bookcase! So I eventually came up with the plan of making it a migratory kettle! =D

ROFL.
Put it in a bowl sitting in a plate filled wiht water. They can't get across the water. We do this with dog food, cos the ants like to carry that off. :D

Hehehe - I'm glad you find my method amusing! =D I'm sure I tried the water barrier thing a couple of times, but they still managed to get into it! Devious little mongrels! =S Besides, this works out alright - and it's kind of a challenge! =P
