I've got a BAZILLION in my kitchen. I'd like to know a way to get rid of them, and keep them from coming back, without using too many chemicals.

I swear by the Combat or Raid ant baits!
The ants think they have found food and share it with the colony...it wipes them ALL out!
Just leave the baits in their trail and you'll notice that they're gone within a few days!

You must follow the trail to find the source. Any decent pesticide will do. Malathion is widely available. It only last about 7 days if mixed correctly. On the outside a 7 dust or any granules that you can buy will also help if you just spread around the outside like you were feeding chickens, and then wet them down to activate the pesticide. Hope this helps.

Try cayenne or chili pepper. Put it all along the edges of your kitchen counters and floors. Works well at keeping the ants away!

Cayenne Pepper. The ants will think it's food and deliver it to the queen. I've tryed it outside on my patio. It works! It's worth a try inside.
