Ok, so I understand, your hungry and my children are so very caring and thoughtful that they purposely drop crumbs, a stray macaroni elbow, a drop of cordial on the floor for you in various places - the dining table, the couch, the kitchen (whoops, that was me). But how often doI need to vacume, I mean really, that crumb you had 20 of your mates hanging onto was only 1mm square!

But whats the story with invading my study/guest bedroom - heads up ants - there is no food in here!! I have some bills (your welcome to eat them!), a computer, some camping chairs and other miscellaneous items that should be in the shed but they havent made their way there yet since moving. No food!

Also, whats with invading DDs bedroom - its upstairs and there is no food and drink (other than water) allowed upstairs. Is her cherry lipgloss really that good!

How do I get rid of you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried going through all of the natural and not really poisonous ideas I saw on line...everything from cinnamon to bay leaves, baby powder etc...the only thing I have found to kill them and keep them out is Spray & Wipe...we have the ants come up though holes in the grout so I flood their little tunnel with the S&W

Ants are taking over the world. Crumb by minute crumb ....

I have ants right now too. They are coming in my spare bedroom, walking up the hallway, and then out through the bathroom window. This hall is on the OTHER side of the house to the kitchen, dining, living etc.

We outdoor surface sprayed all around the windows as well as inside bug spray. They stopped for about 2 days and now they are back and driving me crazy.

1 cup of raw sugar, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 tbs borax. Place on a shallow plate/tray and place where the ants are. It'll take about 24 hrs but they'll feed on it and take it back to the nest and they'll be gone. I did this the other day and haven't had an ant in the kitchen since

Borax hey, I knew there was a reason I didnt throw out that 3/4 used tub of borax when I moved house 10 months ago and of which I havent used since moving into that house, some 4 years before that!

[littlesticky]

Used Ant Rid last night, it has borax in it. Haven't seen them today. They wanted to start a nest in my fridge

[sophiasmum]

Yes, we have been getting ants in the house lately too, they are annoying little buggers.

[taby]

I just got invaded and used 1 teaspoon borax and 1 teaspoon castor sugar. The little buggers are long gone now. I highly recommend it. Just put it in a shallow lid and leave where they are and they will soon go ÿummy yummy"and cark it!!!

[chillibean]

Is borax dangerous to small humans?

We have a veritable army of ants in our playroom/kitchen and I want them O.U.T.
