Looks like a science experiment you say? Nope. Actually this is part of the cost of living in a place people sometimes call "paradise". After we called our property manager and asked if she would send out an exterminator, her response was "It's a waste of money. They will come and spray and you will still have ants." Because of our "rainy" season in the winter, the grounds become too soggy for the little pests and these little critters decide that indoors is the place to be. We've had ants before but nothing this bad before. So the solution? Someone told me the other day to put a bowl of water out with an upside down cup in the middle. Then set your covered food on top of that. You would think a sealed Tupperware container would be enough...but it wasn't. So as weird as it looks to have these bowls of water sitting around, it actually works. The ants drowned before they could reach the cupcakes sealed inside.

Interesting.
And also, I have that green bowl too.:)
Saved some money too. Hope you don't have all the ant relatives coming to have cupcakes at your house. We had an ant problem last year. Maybe I should give it a try. Mom
that's awesome! glad that works!!
What a clever idea! You're handling this ant thing very well, it seems. Ants cause me to have anger management issues! I get so mad when I find them inside.
