Ants!!

[TheAbominatrix]

My house (okay, it's a trailer :skull7: ) is infected with ants. Badly. Last night they were all over the floor, and then when I woke up this morning, there they were again. I know where they're coming from (through a floor vent in the hall) but I cant get rid of them it seems.

I've been using cleaner to kill them, since I dont have any poison. But I could use a more premenant solution. Does anyone know anyway to get rid of them? And I need to take into account my cats, the solution has to keep them safe.

Anyone else ever have this insane problem?

My suggestion, buy an anteater or encircle or house with a line of chalk, since ants don't cross lines of chalk.

I want an anteater! He can play with my cats! And my skunks, possums, and racoons!

Thanks.

I had that problem once too! Once and a while I always find a little ant crawling around. But a few years ago I kept on finding a bunch of ants in my room. I found out since my room is above my garage, the ants were crawling in through a hole. Dad used the ant spray stuff, and the problem stopped.

Spray the bugs with hairspray, that stuff works better then bug killer.

I had ants in my room at my old house in Alpine.. I ate too much in my room. :d

ps: did you know this is the 1000th thread in general chat? :OoOOo

omg I r teh best! 1000! *dances*

Anyway, it's not my fault this time. A lot of stuff got kicked down into that vent over the years, and I guess in the last few my ultra-clean gramma couldnt really physically get down to clean it. Plus the cat food was right there.

And thanks for the tips, Rye and Joel. I'll probably use the chalk, because of the cats and all, and I dont have hairspray because I guess I'm not girly enough. Hehe. I use spray-on glue from the craft store for my spikes/hawks now.

Have you tried those bug traps?

The second one sounds better.

That works as well.

Just spray them with anything remotely toxic. Hair-spray, deodorant, they all seem to work.

To be honest, I just want to post in thread #1000.

There's too many, though! And when I squish them they crawl up my legs.

When I first saw them all in my room in the dark I thought I was hallucinating from lack of sleep.

Sprinkle black pepper in the areas where they're coming in from. It'll keep the ants away and it won't harm your cats...they'll just sneeze a bit.

create a sacred circle and pray to the sun god nook to burn all of your ants into oblivion.

or alternativly call the exterminators.
