This post was always going to be written, I was just wondering how long it would take for it to happen.

Today we had our first ant invasion and that in a place we would have never guessed.
We wanted to print out a few copies in order to get our driver licenses here and this is what we found...

yes, that is our scanner/printer and ants (and their eggs) have made it their home. 

Since cables are often just let down from a drilled hole in the roof, it apparently was an invitation to these little creepers to get right in there and get cozy...

A friend helped us to get the printer to a shop where they will try to clean and hopefully save it...
