So, this is kind of embarrassing to say, but I have an ant problem and I can't get rid of them.
My house is pretty clean as it is, I don't leave food laying about any more than the normal person who misses some crumbs from time to time.
I take the trash out even when it is not even full if there is any kind of food in it.
Basically there are not a lot of reasons why these little boogers have singled me out for making a home.
What have a I tried?
The first thing I did was google the problem, "how to murder ants", good ol google.
They recommended that in order to really get rid of the ants you have to get rid of the queen and destroy their colony.
Ok, so I went to the store and picked up 5 poison tubs that contained food/poison that the ants were supposed to take back to the queen which would finish here off.
To my surprise, after I set the tubs of ant food/poison down, I returned the next day to see the ants swimming in it. Ok, not really swimming but it seemed to have no affect on them and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Now that is not what I wanted to see!
Upon further inspection of the food/poison, I read that it would take some time to really work, so I waited.
Still the ants keep showing up day after day.
This went on for about 5 days. Still not dying.
What next?
I went back to the store and bought some spray that kills the ants on contact and I also bought another package of ant food/poison that is supposed to work at killing the queen.
This is a different brand and hopefully one they won't enjoy playing in, like the last one.
My plan now is to try that stuff today. It has been roughly 2 weeks since these guys started showing up.
Anyone have any advice or input?
