I guess no one has had ants...moving this on down.

I ll try uploading the pic I have got....But they are so tiny to the point I cant take a picture of them :( especially with them inside of the soil.(All i could see if things moving around and it so mixes with the color of sand and its tiny) Nevertheless I saw one crawling in the rim of the container. See if u can spot it right in the center of the blue rim. Its as small as a dot (reddish brown) ..(Dint seem to fly). I am sorry for such lousy pic.. Any help appreciated ! P.S: I also want to post a picture of my dying Aloe vera, I dont think I can add multiple pics, I ll try.

The hills may be getting larger because the colony is getting ready to divide, something that happens on occassion. What you think you saw may not have been what you think you saw, I doubt that a moth of any species would purposely enter an any hill since both the adult moths and the larva of moths are a food source for ants.

To make this narrow room look even wider, remove a section of the drywall under the staircase and inset a piece of matching flooring. Take some from a closet if needed. Instantly your room will look wider and more proportional. Get your carpenter to remove all the drywall in that wall, support the staircase then remove the uprights in the staircase wall, adding attractive metal horizontal and vertical bars as a visible support to ensure the stair is still well supported. To finish the back wall with drywall or apply another wall finish. Grasscloth look? A textured fabric wall is very attractive and simple.
