Remedies for Ants

RE: Remedies for Ants Post By sue (Guest Post) (07/15/2008) I have the really small ants. I have tried everything but blowing my house up. They don't bite but they are all over. I can come into my kitchen when it is really clean and there they are. I called a bug guy and he told me he could spray but it wasn't a guarantee that it would work. He would have to spray every other month. Please if someone knows about these tiny ants let me know.

Just don't put it where pets can get to it.

Hope it works well for you also.

For anyone without pets they can use Terro Ant Killer II--they take it back to the queen and it kills her and the colony dies off. Very effective in my experience, but is deadly to pets and other animals.

I have also heard that putting vegetable oil on a paper towel and wiping door stops, etc. will stop them from crossing the door stop.
