I have ants in my first floor appartment?

Question

What can I do? There's a whole bunch of them every morning.

There's a whole colony of them in the kitchen...

Answer 1

Go to the hardware store and get some ant paste and put it where the ant trail is. They take it back to the colony and it kills them all. The brand I found was called Mattes ant paste and it really works.

Answer 2

Buy & try all the repellent u can find in the market. See which one works best 4 ur ants. Naturally, u can put dried spices like dried cloves or anything that has strong flavor or smell, bitter, not sweet at all, that will scare them away.

But 1st, maybe u need 2 spot the nest & remove the nest off ur apartment.

I use some good Japanese fragrant moth balls. But yeah, make sure they don't have nest nearby. Never leave food nearby. Good luck! :)

Home Depot sells ant killer called Chem Free...it's not a poison but it works really well.

Answer 4

Need to follow them to where they are coming from. Get to there source. If outside, can pour boric acid, a powder available at home depot down their ant hole. If you find the hole where they are coming into, plug it up with duct tape or plaster. Wash the whole area with a cleaning solution to get rid of the "tracks". They leave a track that other ants can smell. It helps them find their way. Ever notice the always foolw the same track? If you do nothing, chances are when the queen dies, they move on and build a colony somewhere else. This could take a few years though. Never leave out stuff that they want to eat. Good luck

Answer 5

stomp on them

Answer 6

buy the gel!! It was amazing our ant problem was so bad if we didn't rinse the sink out good enough they would swarm all over... The spay is ok but stinks really bad and is toxic use the gel it works twice as good is just as cheap and doesn't stink at all and some are kid friendly!!!

Answer 7

Find out where their colony us and unload a can of spray inside of it. Also, ants tend to follow a fairly specific path, figure out what it is and spray all along the path, as well as around the areas where they like to hang out. Spray liberally, and then leave your house for a while, even if the spray is non-toxic. I had the same problem before, and I managed to get rid of all of the ants in one spray.

Answer 8

Ant bait its great, Raid you can get it from the supermarket,

Ants are a pain you can not spray for them as the just move house!! Mite be worse, but ant bait will keep em at bay, replace every month you will be sweet

Promise!
