ants in my house!! help!!?

Question

i hav ants in my house!!!
best way to get rid of them???

Answer 1

I had an ant problem a few years ago in my kitchen (the real tiny ones) even though I have a very clean kitchen. I bought those little plastic discs with enterance areas around it that have double-faced tape so you can stick them anywhere. I placed them along where there "trail" was (I determined their route by observing them a bit) and eventually over several days the amount became less and less until they eventually stopped. I think the brand was RAID. I don't have small children so it wan't a problem to do this but if you have small ones crawling around I realize they wouldn't be a good idea. In that case I'm sure there are natural ways to dispose of them. I'm sure there must be books on natural methods of getting rid of insects or maybe it can be found online. Good luck..

Ants in woods are beneficial and drive away pests. But in and around housing these energetic insects can quickly turn into a plague. There are proven methods and products to get rid of ants and the "ant paths". A standard method is to find the nests and the points at which the ants enter a house, such as cracks or holes in brickwork and block them up with putty or something similar, or to pour boiling water on the nest. Sometimes it helps just to remove the target of the ant path. Besides this effective help can be provided by the Crawling Insect Spray, Bait Stations placed on the ant path or next to the nest, and the Ant Powder which can be scattered or sprinkled (for balconies and terraces).

Answer 3

after two seasons of ant invasion (in successive years) a very sharp-eyed person identified aphids on one of my schefflera! This was a very healthy huge specimen and I didn't have a clue the aphids were there. The ants were coming to harvest "honey dew" from the aphids digestive processes. I ditched the schefflera (12 years old and big) ... since then, I've seen no ants. Check your houseplants for aphids and either treat the plants or pitch them before they infest other plants.

Answer 4

Recently read that placing cornmeal for the ants to carry to the nest will do the job. Seems the little bugs can't digest the cornmeal and die-- plus any in the nest that eat it, too. Sounds like a good idea to me!
BTY Ants are really more visible-- all the moisture and flooding has flushed them out and into homes.
good luck

Answer 5

I buy ant rid from the supermarket, put a drop or two in bottles cap or very small containers and leave them scattered in corners around the house. It's worked for me so far.

Answer 6

The safest way is old fashion grits. Sprinkle the grits around the ants. They will eat a grain and cause the ant to explode. This is the safest way without chemicals.

Answer 7

No, they did no longer hatch and do something, they did no longer hatch in any respect. they only left. in spite of made you immeditaely anticipate that they had hatched? Any ant which you observed had hatched weeks formerly. whilst ants hatch they are grubs. they appear like tiny maggots. they could't even pass on their very own. As for the winged persons you observed, they have been only the subsequent era of kings and queens. The reproductive persons in ant colonies have wings so they could fly off and set up new nests. no longer something interior the least unusual.
