    Can you close the vent in some way that won't result in an explosion or a heat wave in that area of the place? We duct taped one of our vents off once because of ants (and because we didn't have any poison).

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    You can't just go around squishing them willy nilly you have to locate the queen ant and step on her. Then, while they're trying to figure out who is the new queen, hit them with the hose. Or alternatively you could just turn it on and drench them.

    Or better yet cheat on your boyfriend and then go on Jerry Springer where your boyfriend can bulldoze your trailer for you. :mog:

    My mom puts the kitties food bowls in pie tins with water to make a moat. Other than animal food, we only get ants when we leave food out, so don't do that. Keep the kitchen clean.

    It also helps to put your food scraps outside. If the ants get their food close to their home they're less likely to travel inside of yours.

    I did try doing that, but I didnt have the proper equipment.

    YOU LEAVE CLETUS OUT OF THIS!!


    I went and bought some pet-safe pesticides (they're organic) and some of the bait that they take back to the colony. The pesticides work real well.

    We have ants. They've mostly gone away, but they get in the dishwasher and the sink and the floor and my BATHROOM and the computer desk, and the couch and the table. I enjoy killing them, and the only time I've seen my grandfather move really fast was when he was at the table killing ants. My house smells like Raid.

    seriously if you have a hose with one of the LBST (liquid bottle squirty things) attachments fill the bottle with shampoo and spray the vent it'll do no harm to anyone but the insects it works on wasps and bees too.

    Find their nest/anthill/thing and surround it in sugar water. then standby with a bottle of Aqua-Net Hairspray and a lighter (preferrably one of those long ones). Wait for the ants to take the bait. BURN, YOU S.O.B.'S!!!!!!!! Seriously, it worked here.
