Question

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR FAST RESPONSE!!!!! I WILL TRY THESE REMEMDIES!!!! WONDERFUL ANSWERS.

Answer 1

I've used the little ant traps in previous years when I've had them.  They worked great!  Ants were completely gone within 24 hours.

Answer 2

Hey CUZ---We have the same problem out here and  we use babyh powder--ants don't like it--We saw a kid from Japan on TV who did this for a science project--He knows his stuff--It really does work-Ginger

Answer 3

Honestly. I found the best way is to call an exterminator. We had a problem one year, the guy came with a pressurized sprayer, sprayed the yard, the house and left some traps. Never saw an ant again. Was a lot less expensive than spending on a bunch of money on house and garden sprays that don't work as well as the industrial stuff the exterminator can get his hands on.

Answer 6

drop piles of cornmeal around their trails - they take it to the nest, eat it, swells in thier stomachs and they die off - the colony will reduce greatly and you'll have done it with a little tiny cost.

Answer 7

if you're in a house, spray around the foundation.  Be fastidious about eating anywhere in the house, except at the table.  Clean up any crumbs immediately.

Answer 8

Terro ant traps work well.  Make sure you don't have any food or crumbs at all...even one crumb attracts these little boogers.  Don't feel bad, I have them too!
