How do I kill ants, besides sprinkling stuff around the house?

Question

A while ago my room got infested with ants, the little black ones. But I dont like the idea of sprinkling all this stuff around my room, that seems to be a hassel. Also I was told that the bomb was the best idea, and it seems Great. But the problem is they said you have to evacuate the premissis, and it would be to difficult to get 8 animals out of the house. I got the spray its working fine... but with my room I have to wait untill the ants come out of like, under the bed, or from behind something. Is there an easier way or a bomb that you dont have to completely leave or Something??

Answer 1

squish 'em

Answer 2

Get yourself some ant traps. These are like little plastic

boxes that you can put around your house the ants enter

them and eat the bait and return to the nest and share the food around and it kills the entire nest. The entrances are

'ant' size so you don't have to worry unless you have

'ant' size pets. My friend had this problem about three months ago. We got four traps (two to a package) and put them around her ground floor two bedroom apt where she has cat and dog. In three days the ants disappeared never to come back and everyone else was well and fine. If you are really worried about the pets put the traps in places like under the sofa where the animals can;t get at it but the ants will find it themselves.

Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar stick it in a bowl. The ants will come and pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.

Answer 5

I 've often heard that this really works.   It's worth a try.

I heard if ants come into your home -  that a nest of the ants are outside the area around your home.

Find the nest of the ants - which should be outside of your house .. and use gasoline on the nest.

Answer 6

A bomb is always good and you only have to evacuate for 4 hours, there are ant bait traps, make sure there are NO crumbs anywhere and cleaning infested areas with bleach helps too.
