Ant Problem?

Question

last night I noticed ants crawling underneath my computer desk after one bit me. So I ignored it and decided I'd take care of the problem when I wake up in the morning. So I woke up and decided to take a swiffer and wipe up all the dead ants.and then I took Real Kill home insect control (it supposetly lasts for up to 8 months) So I made sure the entire area was ant free. So I sprayed the real kill home control all over the bottom of my desk and my sister's(she was having this problem too) and a few hours later they came back.Their are little crackers in my floor though that connect to the cabinet and the tile but I still dont understand why their coming back up. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

I Have the same problem.

The ants have nested in my wall cavity.

They keep appearing on my windowsill,

I have tried Everything, now I've been reduced to

Hoovering them up, every time they appear!

Answer 2

silly goose, ants come to a picnic, get rid of the food crumbs,  put some Amdro ant killer outside the window with a spreader. stop them before they get in. check the bottom of the nearest door also. p.s. Amdro granules , i get em from Lowes.

Answer 3

They could be nesting in the wood framing of the house. Maybe you need to not bring foods to that room, You will just temp them to come back again.

Answer 4

They might be coming through your wall.  I would also put out some ant traps and DO NOT move them!  They take the bait back to the queen and kill her.  Doesn't work real fast but it does work.
