I am ready to resort to the use of agent orange and napalm to do battle with the seemingly millions of tiny black ants that live in and around my house.... I finally found some stuff that holds them at bay, ORTHO makes it and it comes in a neat spray dispenser but I have to keep re-applying it two or three times a week to keep the little monsters out of my house.... my yard is full of them, I spray and spray but they keep coming back.... they must be dug in like the V.C. Or maybe my house sits on top of one of those super colonies that stretches for miles underground, I don't know, but yeah, i definitely feel your pain.

Last month, I had a bunch of sugar ants in my kitchen and in my bathroom even though I am an extremely clean person.
I bought those ant baits at walmart and raid ant spray. I also bought the ant food for the outside and sprinkled that stuff around the edges of my house. That did the trick, I don't have ants anymore.

Yes, I think we all do. In the past I have figured out where they were coming in from, usually around the edges of a windowsill, and used a bit of Elmer's glue to close it up. lol
They are a pain, but as long as they don't make themselves a nascence, I'd rather have them then worse things like roaches!

Two ways that i know of to stop that. One put used coffee ground all the way around your house. they won't cross it. Or two..if you have something to draw on all the way around your house..draw a line with chalk. they won't cross that either. The coffee grounds works for me. Is safe if you have pets or kids and is ok for environment. Good luck.

Yeah I actually did. I called the exterminator and they got rid of them, but only temporarily. I have to call him every 3 weeks or so so they come again.

Get this stuff called "Terro Ant Killer." It's amazingly effective.

did, but we called pest control.........I also worry about scorpians and tarantulas here in Texas, so I guess the ants are the least of my problems

If you just take cinnamon sticks and lay them around in your house it will rid you of them.
