Ants are attacking me! / myLot

I really dislike ants. I find that for me, they come into my house a lot more during the summer. If one tiny crumb falls onto the floor, a whole trail of ants comes along. I wanted to start this discussion because today, when I woke up from sleeping, there were ants all over my pillow. I was disgusted, thinking that they were also in my hair, and might have even crawled into my mouth! ew. I was wondering, do you any of you guys suffer from ant problems at home? What do you do to handle it? We spray ant medicine (which I hate because it suffocates me), but they always come back!

I suggest that you should spread some kerosene around their colony or use a fruitscented insecticide to avoid the irritating smell of the common insecticide and lastly avoid bringing food to your bed because the few fragments of that can attact ants.

Thanks for the advice! But the weird thing is, I don't even bring any sweets or anything to my room, nevermind the bed. I wouldn't be as irritated if I saw some crumbs on my pillow, but there was absolutely nothing. Clean sheets, vacuumed room. It was just so weird!
