Question

I have ants inside my home,every where,I tried the motel boxes,raid everything i can think hasn't work.I keep my house **** and span clean,mop and clean kitchen everyday.but every morning they're still there can you help please??

Answer 1

You might need to do a little research but there is this food, kinda like rice, that I have heard if you sprinkle it around your yard. The ants take it into the mound and feed it to the Queen. But when the queen eats it she ends up dead. Which causes the other aunts to die. I cant remember what kind of food it is though. Hope this helps some.

Answer 2

First of all, try and look the source of the ants,and spray them with water.Think about it, if u left any food open, it's because most ants get attracted by odor or food that's a little old.

Answer 3

You need to get this awesome product called Terro.  It worked for me.  The ants take the bait back to the nest and it kills the whole thing. The only problem is that you CANNOT touch it.  You have to leave the ants alone, which drove me crazy.  It worked great.  I got it at Home Depot for about six bucks.

Answer 4

Get some ant powder and put it all around the outside of your house. Also seal up all the cracks and crevices with sealant to stop them getting in. It worked for me so good luck.

Answer 5

The guy above is right. Terro has worked great for me too. Not so great for the ants.  It's a sugary honey like substance that I've put on "sticky notes." It actually attracts ants--that's the part that drives people crazy. They line up to eat the stuff but LEAVE THEM ALONE so they can go back and feed the queen. There's borax or something in there, and once it gets to the queen, no more ants.  

It will be GROSS AND DISGUSTING but keep the sticky notes off to the side and it's not that bad.  When I had problems, I kept the sticky notes fresh so there was always fresh food for more ants.   Ants live in a central colony and are populated by the queen. Once she's out (as I said) no more ants.

There are other brands with the same stuff in it.
