Answer 1

I read somewhere that queen ants live for twenty five years and ants never sleep.

Like slugs and snails I think you will never be completely rid no matter what you do.

Answer 2

Hi!

I've tried all the powders that are on the market.

Last year I found where their nest was, and someone suggested I pour boiling water on them - I wasn't 100% happy doing this - but it DID work!

Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

* Feed them corn meal. They eat it. They take it back to their nest and feast on it. They can't digest it and it kills them. Also, corn meal won't harm children or pets.

We seem to keep getting them around the house lately.

Just when you think they're gone, one always comes back to surprise you.

Answer 10

if they are coming in from outside, draw thick chalk line on the floor, the lime in the chalk burns them, they will not cross it. but of course you will need to keep re-doing it.
