00:00When checking into a hotel room you might have a concern about bedbugs or cockroaches
00:04but you probably aren't thinking about ants. Well for one traveler in Indonesia her business
00:09trip turned into a nightmare when she found this in the bathroom of her accommodation.
00:14This is Melissa McGar. She says she took a shower and left the bathroom but when she
00:18returned mere minutes later the walls were literally crawling with ants.
00:22She says she didn't know what to do since it was around one in the morning but she was able to
00:30find a hotel employee to help. He came to her room and used the shower to hose them off the wall
00:35giving her a key to another room to sleep for the night. The next day she went back to her room and
00:39they were all gone with Melissa saying about the extermination. I have no clue what he did. I stayed
00:45about another week and never saw another one. She adds that every time she walked in the door she was
00:49afraid she would see another swarm. However, after recent bedbug outbreaks have been reported
00:53all over the world, she's lucky ants are all she had to deal with.
