All The Crumbs On My Floor End Up In Piles

We do try to sweep up under the breakfast table daily it s on their chore chart but it doesn t always happen.

All the crumbs on my floor end up in piles. Drywood termites leave tiny round pellets that are hard. Do you just follow the same pile of shit around blowing it into the air and waiting to see where it lands forever. I use the dry swiffer to pick up as much as i can using it like a broom to sweep all the big chunks into a little pile. It s also great for getting crumbs out of the crevices of your couch sucking dust off the slats of your blinds and quickly cleaning coffee grounds off.

I ended up spraying my favorite perfume up the holes i think the alcohol did the trick because the piles stopped forming and i didn t see anymore ants. Swiffers are great but neither the dry or the wet ones pick up every last little bit of gunk. Significance carpenter ant workers shove the entire colony s frass outside of exit holes. There are crumbs on my floor.

One has 5 bite marks or like a white head. However if the dirt appears to be coming out from within the window frame or from behind the baseboard you re likely looking at something more. At a distance the pile of frass will look like a pile of sawdust. Now just so y all don t go thinking i m a total slob i do actually clean my house.

Imagine looking at the dust and dirt and crumbs that build up on your floor and going ah this is a mess better blow it around the rest of my apartment. Baseboards and windowsills can collect small amounts of dirt over the normal course of daily life. Kitchen sinks tend to end up the repository of all kinds of food waste the crumbs that didn t get finished at dinner the lemon and lime peels after you ve used the juice for a favorite recipe grease or oil that s solidified as it cooled in your drains even if you have a garbage disposal clogs can build up over time. That pile of clothes in the corner makes its way to the washing machine eventually.

Last winter i found similar looking piles of dust in that area and i found little holes on the bottom of the window framing where the ants were entering and exiting. Your vacuum is perfect for that obviously. Closely inspect the pile of insect frass. Those train tickets will probably end up in the coffee table drawer after bedtime.

What kind of self inflicted sisyphus shit is this. Those crumbs will probably get swept up while my little guy watches his morning videos. Powderpost beetles also tend to kick out. I didn t see them in the night or feel them biting me but have 13 14 welts all around my side each welt has usually more than one bit make in each welt.

The exact location of the dirt pile can also be an important clue as to the culprit.
