How do you get rid of big black ants, I have ant bait all around and now i have to spray too!!!!?

Question

I don't know what to do, they just keep comming back. I've even

used straight bleach and that didn't phase them. I don't know what to try next the sprays kills them on contact, but when i use the attachment to spray between the walls and floors,behind or

between the counters it doesn't seem to effect them, HEEELLPP!!!!!

Answer 1

mom always used vinegar in her garden

Answer 2

Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will 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 3

I had the same problem. I found the gaps in my doors/ windows and soaked them down with Raid ant and roach spray. (be careful if you have pets). The bait doesn't work as well, but it's good in addition to the spray.

Also when it rains, respray the areas you noticing them entering the house from.

Answer 4

I put salt near where they enter into the house.

They hate it and stay away.

Or spray the holes where they come into the house?

Or you can get a pest exterminater in

Answer 5

black pepper

Answer 6

.....mix some honey and Borax and put it somewhere where they will find it.....they will eat it take it back to the nest and end up killing all of the other ants......

Answer 7

Probably carpenter ants in which they are not attracted to most commercial / homemade baits.  You can find Advance Carpenter Ant Granules  and MaxForce Carpenter Ant Gel over the web or at a pest control store that works for them pretty well.  Spraying for them will only kill the foragers that you are seeing and do nothing to stop the problem.

Answer 8

I was once in your situation.  Don't worry, everything will work  out for you =)

A year ago I found this organization that gives people up to $1500 in renter or mortagage assistance!  They operate in most US cities, I highly suggest you try to get some of this money.
