ANTS!!
Please help! I have ants all over my kitchen. I need something to kill them and for them not to keep coming back!
eta: everything is clean, I dont have any crumbs or anything and I havent really cook in the last couple of days. I think they are coming from outside as I live in the first floor of an apartment in a house.

Re: ANTS!!
we tried a bunch of things...and nothing worked..
then we tried TERRO it was a small clear gel/liquid bottle....my DH put them in 4 places where we saw a lot- only like a M&M size drop on little cardboard squares....and it was fascinating to watch...with in minutes each cardboard had 30-40ish ants..I was a little grossed out...didnt think we had THAT many...But I guess they all brought the stuff back to their friends bec I swear after maybe just 2 applications..we havent seen an ant since!
It is like a miracle solution!
Def recommend it!!

Re: ANTS!!
we've had bad ants too (first spring in new house close to water). DH got insecticide from Home Depot and sprayed the outside foundation walls. After two applications (to make sure got them all!), we seem to have no more ants!

Re: ANTS!!
I was doing so good with no ants at all until Saturday into Sunday! I think the rain chased them all in!

Re: ANTS!!
We used baby powder! We had a lot of ants and poured baby powder where they were coming from. The next day, there were TONS of ants outside on the driveway. I think it drove them all away!!! We sprinkled some more outside, and no more ants, inside or out... for now.

I was shocked, too! We try not to use chemicals when we can... Cayenne pepper- I'll keep that in mind!
