Little ants in my bedroom?

Question

Hey there, so I have little ants in my bedroom. I have no idea why they are there, I've looked under my bed, and I've picke dup all the food they were like eating, and so they are still there! How do I get rid of them? Thanks! I don't want to use poison since I have cats who are in there constantly.

Answer 1

lol Annie, I've done the same thing before!!! And it worked too!

Answer 2

i know this sounds super wierd but i had the same situation and have a dog so i used the antibacterial Windex (yellow) and sprayed it everywhere around my room, after i vaccuumed.  The ants died instantly!

Answer 3

Once those little buggers get in, they're almost impossible to get rid of. I've used Ant Kill, which helps for a day or two. The best luck I've had is mixing Borax with sugar and water to make a runny paste, then placing it in their paths. The Borax kills them from the inside out, something about tearing up their insides.

Even with that, they come back immediately as soon as someone leaves food out.

I'm sure if I got my house sprayed, it would get rid of them, but I don't like to use pesticides.

Good luck.

Ultimately, the best way is figure out how they're getting in, then seal the hole(s) up.

I sometimes use a drop of honey as bait, then it's easier to find their trail.

You can also buy "diatomaceous earth", which is a nontoxic powder that microscopically cuts them up (it's not toxic at all).  My hardware store has it.
