I know this sounds crazy. Aspartame (equal) was first designed as an ant killer. If you take a couple packs add a couple drops of water and leave it out.(we used a jar lid) They will go crazy and be everywhere for 2 to 3 days then they be gone. We use to have that problem every spring. We tried it and NEVER saw them again.

I wouldn't buy that house, the ants comes from underground usually old buildings that has cracked walls.I had pest control and isn't big deal, cost a lot of money, used injections to kill the queen and all the team underground but there were gone for 2 or 3 months only.I bought Raid and it last for that long and cost me $5 .Finally I had to move, because when it was too hot or when the rain came,there were ants all over the house.Thanks God I don't have to deal with ants anymore,that the worst thing!

Get those cans with ant bait in them. They have ant-sized holes you poke open in the sides. Ants go in and take some of that delicious sweet bait (which is poisonous). They bring it back to their nest and share it with the other ants and the queen. That kills them all in a week or so.

You can get rid of ants by removing the food source and using soap water.

Do you know their point of entry? We find the point of entry and put some food outside at that point. Then the ants have no reason to come into the house. Sounds goofy, but it works.

You can buy those ant traps (little tins) @ grocery stores/hardware stores. You will probably have to buy many and keep that up for awhile tho,but will work.

Gritts will do it......its natural and the grits are taken back to nest and help kill all the nest....
Vinegar also will kill them....
