We always seem to get some right when it turns from summer to fall. Never any other time. This year I got these ant traps on stakes you put in the ground outside, as well as a few for inside, and they did the trick within two days!

Re: Ants ants and more ants
oh no!
from our experience, buggies usually come in when there are plants too close to the siding and foundation on the other side of the wall...... or a hole in the siding.... something along those lines.
before you spray toxic stuff everywhere, remove the leaves and trim back all the plants from the bottom of the siding, and see if that improves the situation

Re: Ants ants and more ants
We had the really small ants last year, and I contacted Terminix. We have their plan now and we have not had anymore ants since

I think it's the weather. Put Terro Traps down. They work like a charm is you can tolerate a swarm of them for 2 days & not kill them. It wipes out the whole nest.

Re: Ants ants and more ants
Check the perimeter of your home, to see where they are coming in, and put some ant traps down on both the inside and outside to get them.
Also, make sure the floors are clean of dust, food particiles, etc.
