Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get some concentrated bug spray and and a spray canister. Apply all around the base of your house and windowsills. That should do it. Ants are bad this year. That's what I did and it was alot cheaper than a exterminator. It worked for me.

Here is a tip I only received a few days ago but I don't know if it really works. Spread Aspartame, the artificial sweetener found in NutraSweet and Equal. Sprinkle the contents of the packets wherever you have ants whether inside the house or outside. I am told it works miracles and even works on Fire Ants. Good Luck!

I had that problem last year. I went to the dollar store, and bought some powder stuff. I used it all around my house. In every crack and corners. I had the biggest problem in the bathroom than anywhere else. My ex would have his nasty work clothes on the floor, and that is what brought them in my house. I don't recommend using the powder if you have a little one crawling about. I have used only that after everything else failed. Also, not only in the house but I used that powder on the ant-beds outside too. It really works. It is about 3-3.50 a bottle from the dollar general. Good Luck.

Ask your Uncles (your ants husbands) to PLEASE take them HOME and keep them there until you invite them over personally
