We'd got rid of them last winter, but they must have dug another hole somewhere... - You have to have an exterminator come over. - I called them this morning, but they told me they wouldn't be able to come until next week! - I know a great one if you're interested. My grandmother's house was overrun by ants which had got inside all the cupboards. I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie! He came once, and in two hours, the problem was fixed! - That's exactly what I need! I need you to send me his number as soon as possible! - Consider it done!
