Bubba J vs. the Ants

My two-year old boy, Bubba J, has been waging a steady war against our minor infestation. The ants have responded in kind. While Bubba J squishes them, the ants crawl on him and bite him. This reduces my poor boy to tears. After one particularly bad skirmish, Bubba J came to me and said, "Naughty ant bite me. Bad boy ant".

I keep reminding him to leave the ants alone, and despite the frequent bites, Bubba J persists in his quest to rid our house of the pesky ants.

I suppose it is time for some adult intervention and something stronger than a shoe.
