if you suggest calling a professional please give me companies.

Answer 1

Try going to Lowes and getting what they call ant block. It is similar to rat poision but for ants. they take it back to the colony and share it as food and supppose to kill the whole colony. The bad side it has to be reapplied every 3 to 6 months.

Answer 2

Orkin has a standard ant removal program for this.

Answer 3

the home defense max spray has kept ants out of my house all summer. i always suggest it to my friends who have the same problem. my parents also did alot of landscaping and digging in their yard so they had alot of creepy spiders in the house. i told them to get the "home defense max" spray and it worked! havent seen a spider yet.

hope i helped!

also i read that if you mix sugar and borax they will carry the borax with the sugar back to their home and eat it or w/e they do with it and it kills them since its poisen. so you could try that too but ive never tried it
