Me: “What nonsense? How on earth can you smell ants??”
I look around and tell her that there are no ants.
My friend: I’m telling you. I can smell ants!!
I was particularly tense about the next day’s exam to the point that I was literally in tears.
“Look, please let’s continue. I’m really tense.”
Ya ya
After sometime suddenly I feel as though something had bitten me. I saw a few ants on the bed.
I looked around the place carefully and I see a line of ants. I trace the line and I see that it goes under my mattress. I turn the mattress and you will not believe the number of ants I saw. I thought to my self “Great, everything has to happen just when I need to study.”
See, I told you!!!!
I had no clue what to do and I knew I had to remove the ants because my friend hated them and I was sure that she wouldn’t study with them there. All of a sudden my friend says
Do you have any powder?
“Powder? You mean facial powder?”
Ya
“For what?” I ask puzzled.
Well after so many years of hating ants, I have found out that ants hate powder, especially Cinthol.
Though I was sceptical about it, at that particular moment I was willing to try anything. Anything, at all, I was that desperate!!
So I gave her Pond’s talc (because I didn’t have Cinthol) and she started putting it all over the ants. Surprisingly it worked!! I couldn’t believe it. One by one the ants started moving away.
Since then I’ve become a believer and every time I see ants coming near my bed I just put my ever faithful Pond’s talc and they stay away. And now you know the secret to keep ants away.
