I have sugar ants bad. I have even found them in my dishwasher. It doesn't matter how much I wipe the countertops with vinager, they are all over! I can't leave the slightest mess or they will just seem to appear out of nowhere. How do I get rid of them, I am extremely frustrated.

Have a bug sprayer come out. I'm telling you it's so worth it, and it kills spiders and all those uglies too...

First thing you have to do is take away their favorite snack´s , Which is sugar , jam´s, cakes crumbs of all kind´s . Keep food in tight lidded containers. Sweep or vacuum when finished working in the kitchen, wipe down the counter´s as often as possible, Don´t trying to say you have a dirty house , but if you take away their favorite food they leave . Also put black pepper where you see most of them. They will then carry this into the egg-laying queen´s nest. The egg-laying queen will then move the ant´s out. Ants sometimes stage a wet weather invasion of homes , to escape the water logged nest´s. But if they cannot find food , they will leave of their own accord

I bought the little black ant traps from walmart when I had this problem and within 1 day I noticed a HUGE difference after about 3 days I didn't see anymore ants at all. They worked really well, they were by Raid I believe.

Ants become a nuisance when they enter homes. Instead of spending money on costly pest control, you can get rid of ants by removing the food source and using soap water. I found the information at http://www.pests.in useful.

Terro ant killer....it is an oil.....you put a drop on a piece of paper , they go right to it and drink it, then they take it back to the nests and it kills them all ( it works great) hardware stores would carry this product

Ant poison works great. Put them at the door where they come in.
