Invasive species

It's December 1st and we still have ants.  What is particularly annoying about them is that they are in places that make no sense.  They don't get into the kitchen or the animals' food.  They are in the bathrooms (o.k. that makes sense because they are looking for water), on the bannisters, and hanging out on one wall in the living room.  I'm glad they aren't getting into food.  I am not glad that I feel like I still have to eliminate every single one of them or they will eventually find food.  See, when they get into something there is a traceable path and you can stop it.  When they are just randomly wandering it is impossible to figure out where they are coming from. 

I feel like this is a metaphor for something in my life.

I am tired of looking for ants.  I am really tired of them even still being active this year.
