Oh how I hate insects?

Question

How do I get rid of ants in my bathtub/ bath area?

I've used Raid on several occasions and red pepper once.

I've sprayed where I've seen them and where I think they're coming from, but every morning THEY"RE BACK and the cycle begins anew. I think the problem may be that the water attracts them. Please cite your source.

Answer 1

I have had that same problem and it more than likely isnt the water, what they were after in my house was my sisters chapstick (it was flavored) that she had dropped on the floorand we hadnt seen. So to get rid of them we bleached the kitchen where we thought they got in  and then scrubbed and cleaned the other floor surfaces in the house like the bathroom. Or try sweet based ant traps.
