There are always ants and small black bugs in my cabinets. They get into my cereal, peanut butter, and everything else. I've tried to start leaving my snacks outside, but that makes my house look uglier! How can I get the ants out of my house?
Please and thank you. :)

Put all of your dry food products into plastic storage containers. But I don't see how they get into your peanut butter, if you are keeping the container closed?!
Once you have your food protected in plastic, use any available ant killer to get rid of them. It works best if you use a bait that they would take back to the nest and poison the whole nest with.

Well actually ants are a good source of protein. I strongly recommend you to eat them with your snacks. Alright...if you really don't like ants(and the idea of eating ants,) you can get an anteater from near animal shop(like PETCO) and put him in the cabinet. But make sure that he doesn't poo on your food tho.

Those black ants hatch right under the kitchen sink. That is their home for sure. They need moisture to live. That spray hose or a slight leak under there is their water source. Get a can of spray and spray under there. You will be surprised how fast they disappear.

TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF THE CABINETS AND SPRAY WITH AN ANT SPRAY, WAIT UNTIL NEXT DAY AND SPRAY AGAIN. THE PESTS SHOULD BE GONE. ALWAYS KEEP FOODS, INCLUDING SUGAR IN A TIGHT CONTAINER.
