So many ants and I can't stop them

Hello ys. I hope that by now you have conquered your ant problem. Lat week I was visiting my grandson in South Carolina. He lives in an apartment. They do a spraying once a month. One night he got an infestation of ants. We tried every thing to get rid of them. we finally went to Walmart and bought ant traps. These are safe because the poison is inside and will not get on the counters. The ants were gone in the matter of hours.

I dare not use the pesticides at the place where I prepare for my foods. No matter how I mop after applying the pesticides, I believe there are still some remaining of pesticides on that area. An article in the newspaper advised us to use the Shell of an egg to kill the ants. First of all, smash only the shell of the hen's eggs into small pieces and fry until it totally dried. Secondly, crush those pieces of eggs until they becomes powders. Finally, those powders can be placed at the places where the ants often appear with small containers. The ants will be finally killed once they eat those powders. I hope this method will work since I have not tried before. In my belief, it is very bad to kill lives. After searching through the internet, I found a very suitable method for you too. This is the link for your reference: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf678114.tip.html

I think you can ants by putting some kerosene on that area

ughh i sometimes have this problem too. especially around the kitchen . i don't really know how to get rid of them. I just wipe them off my kitchen whenever I see them. But i think they're unstoppable coz I think they'll come from wherever if they smell sugar.

Hi yspmyl! :) your username is a bit complicated to say.. :D anyway, you can try using some pepper, the ants will not like it, that is what watch in the television long time ago. I experienced same trouble with you in the past, so i still remember it well :D And, try to keep the area clean always. it is better if you wipe it out with a damp cloth. The ants leave some kind of chemical trace on their route, so they know which way to come home.., by wiping it with a damp cloth, you can remove this trace. just remember to make the place clean of ants and do some preventive action to prevent the ants coming back again. You can put some pepper in the begining/source where the ants come, for example: if the ants come from a window in your kitchen, spread some pepper near or on the window. Hope that can help you to get rid from this ants problem. :) Have a great day!

I read in one of my mylot friend that Nutra sweet is also good killer for ants. You can also try it. She said that if we sprinkle some of Nutra sweet on the ants,the ants going crazy. My grandmother also use candle to kill ants. She kill them by heat coming from the candle but the only disadvantage of using candle is the wall and the cabinets get dark spot because of the smoke coming from the candle but you can wipe the black spot by wet rag.

First what kind of ants, Are they small and reddish or black? Then they are either sugar or grease ants. They are coming for food in your kitchen. Any food items you have put in containers they cannot get into. Glass jars with lids work. Plastic they can eat through if it is thin plastic. Keep your kitchen clean as possible. Find where they are coming in at. Take kerosene with sugar put in a lid where they can get it but your family is not going to be overly exposed. They take it back to the nest and poison the nest. If they are big black ants they are carpenter ants and will eat your wood in the house so will termites a reddish pinkish two tone creature. You need to kill them. If you live in country where you can find some toads put them under your house they will eat them up soon. Find the source of the nest and dig deep in the nest and poisin the nest. If there is mositure or mold or dirt against the house get it away from the house as ants like to burrow in nests in moist areas and dirt next to house. If under the house you need to make poision or get ant traps to kill them. Here are some links to how to get rid of ants try some of these remedies http://www.thefrugallife.com/ants.html http://www.ehow.com/how_3791_rid-ants-naturally.html http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Ants Hope the links help you find a solution that works. I have had them and used some of the methods. I have also used hot water. I traced the ants to the source and dug out the nest which was in a big dirt mount right up against the house left by some sort of project. We also found and killed the queen. Moved the nest far away. They never came back.

hi,maybe u can put some prickly heat power on that way !

Every summer the ants seems to be a problem at my house. So far it hasn't been too bad that i can't keep up with them. My sister has been getting big anta thia sumeer that she h=never had before. I don't know why ants have to be such a pesty problem.

A pleasant day to you Yspmyl, It is indeed annoying. Almost same situation that I encountered 2 weeks ago. It is also on the kitchen side, the wall near the sink where the ants are crawling. I really feel irritated that time because it is almost everyday that I cleaned that area and still they keep on coming back. At first, I just use an ordinary hand soap to wash the wall to make it smell fresh and fragrant but on the next day, ants were there again forming a path. So what I did, I used a detergent bar with a strong content to clean the wall. And since it is a kitchen area, I have to cleaned it thoroughly to keep the food from any unsafe odor. And finally, after using the detergent bar, ants do not form any path anymore. Meaning, the detergent bar content is effective for ants not to crawl anymore in that area. Perhaps you can also use a detergent bar to wash the area in your kitchen.

First you need to find out what kind of ants they are. Little black ants are after sweets. Big black ants and black and red ants are carpenter ants and they will eat your wood :( so it is very important to get rid of the big ants. If you see any flying ants, spray them with soap and water. These are the queen ants and they are trying to find a home for a nest for the next year. I watched to find out where the ants were coming from and I found out they had a nest around the sink where caulking was needed. I got some spray at dollar tree and sprayed and it has really helped cut down on the problem. I did get bit by one of the ants. I fell asleep on the couch and it crawled on me and I smacked it. I just put first aid cream on it and took an antihistamine for a couple days and that helped my reaction.

yes sometimes its really hard to put them away especially when are many,so the best thing to rid and eliminate them all is spraying of chemicals such as malathion,but we can not drain them all because they can easily multiple their selves.

to get rid of them i buy a product that has a good flavor and they eat it, then it poisons them so that they die and don't come back. it works perfectly for me i forgot the name though
