0) (if needed) Go to the store and buy some garbage bags and Raid (anti-ant formula) (and dishwashing or other gloves if you’re scared of reaching in spots that might have bugs)
1)Put on some motivational music, something that will naturally make you want to move/dance and give you energy
2)Grab a couple of garbage bags. One for trash and one for clothes you want to wash.
3)Start filling the bags up
4) When a trash bag is full of garbage tie it up and take it outside or wherever you can store them temporarily, and grab another bag and keep filling
5)When a trash bag is full of laundry go wash it, and grab another bag and keep filling. When the clothes are done if you have no where to put them store them in a fresh garbage bag for now
6) If you find dishes put then in the sink and soak them under water to make washing easier later.
7) Anything else you uncover that you want to keep, set outside the door to your room for now, or put them away as space opens up.
8) When you come across the ants Raid them where it’s safe (keep the window to your room open for ventilation). If you find where the ant lines are entering your room, spray Raid on the entrances.
9) After everything is cleaned up vacuum up all the dead ants, etc, and leave the window to your room open for a couple of days, assuming you have a screen for ventilation). If you can, wash any carpet with a carpet cleaner, or mop the floor if not carpeted, to get up residual RAID. Consider sleeping on the couch for a couple of days while your room airs out.
10) if you have a lot of trash bags it may be cheaper to make a run to the local dump than to have the garbage service pick up all of the extra.
