I am currently using the ant traps and they seem to have taken care of the problem.

The ONLY effective way to get rid of ants in the house is to use TERRO ant baits. They will work at any time but I prefer to place them around in early spring before there is a problem. I havent had a reoccurance since I started using them. Good Luck!

Hi. Buy "Ortho Home Defense Max" from Home Depot, and spray it at the point of "entry", and "exit" where their coming in at, and going from. Also spray any Ant hill's you may notice outside of your home. Spray at the bottom of doorway "entrance's and "exit's", doorjam's, and crack's and crevices where you may see them coming in at. This will keep them away for month's!!! Don't be afraid to use this spray! It's an excellent form of defense in the killing of these little itty bitty awful creature's. Also spray, then throughly spray and also ""throughly"" wash your cabinet's out!!!! p.s. when you have a chance, fog your home with a good fog, preferrably from the same maker, "Ortho". (Very good company) :):):)

Sprinkle Boric Acid around where you see the ants...and also around the outside of your house. Its just a powder and relativley cheap and doesnt smell bad like most pesticides. You can buy it almost anywhere.

I've heard that black pepper works. I prefer the Raid ant baits.
