Black p**s ant problem

Question

O k im having a ant problem, i recently found out they are called p**s ants, they are littler black ones then today i saw a swarm of them, i do not know where they came from where the hole is, e.t.c what can i do to get rid of these pests? :(

Answer 1

clean your desk as there might be something sticky on it which is attracting them, nippon do a killer which you put a few drops down and they take it back to the nest and it kills the nest.good luck

Answer 2

For immediate termination of infestation, use NEEM oil mixed in water.  Put in a spray bottle, and it will wipe the visible ones out.  

For long term:  mix powdered sugar and Boraxo (20 mule team) together (1:1) and put in baby food lids in areas where you see the ants.  They will pick up the bait and take it back to the hill and kill the queen. No more ants.

Good luck.

Answer 3

you can use cayenne pepper for now. just put it along where the wall meets the carpet.

I've used ant traps in various places, and bug spray along baseboards and entryways of my home. That worked for me. Maybe it may help you?

Its my suggestion. Hope it does help.

Best Wishes.

(ps - got the cheapest ones too, lol, and they worked the same)

Answer 4

I no longer have to do this, but I wanted to share for those who have the problem. I have conquered the ant problem this year!! Keeping ants out of your pet’s dishes and small animals cages

As you will see there are so many uses for what I am going to tell you.  You can keep ants from getting to the fruit you have put in your birds cage, and keep ants from getting into the soft wet litter areas in small animal cages like hamsters or guinea pigs. There is no end to what it can do.  You see, its simple, I use petroleum jelly (Vaseline). I know you have seen the scout ants hunting around your house. They hunt for damp cool areas and for food.  Ants cannot cross over a line of petroleum jelly. They would get stuck, one toe in and the see the cant cross, they don’t even try.  So they won’t be able to get to your pets food or water so therefore won’t be able to bring back the rest of the troops to invade your home!!  A thin line around a trash can, or bird cage legs and base of your pets food or water dish, (apply to sides of dish about 1 inch from the floor).  I use a thin line applied with a q-tip around my guinea pigs cage, she used to get ants in her cage they wanted her fruit all the time… I just tried my tried and true way of keeping ants out of my cat’s dishes and it WORKED GREAT!! I am so happy with this method for the past several years… I used to put my cats food dish in a pie tin of water, which worked great because ants can cross water… a good idea and can be used in a pinch, but I found the food kept falling in the water and making a murky mess and attracted even more ants if I did not change the water in the pie tin few times a day.  

REMEMBER ONE IMPORTANT THING! Keep cages, bowls, etc. from touching the walls by at least one inch so the ants can’t bypass the petroleum jelly and enter the bowl or cage from the wall where it is touching as to avoid the carefully placed petroleum jelly. I even use the petroleum jelly around my trashcans in doors and out.  Keeps ants from there as well!
