Must hire an exterminator so they can get to the source of the ants and exterminate the entire colony. If not done this way they will continue to return.
Use a bag from onion flavored potato chips, or any bag or container from dried fruit (raisins, figs, etc.) place pieces of onion inside the bag and very loosely roll the top portion of the bag and place (out of reach from pets) near the path of the ants. Wait 2-3 days, voile no ants. The oil or sweetness will attract the ants and the onion will kill them. If you would like to see the progress at work, use a clear Zip Lock bag and leave a small opening for the ants to enter.
For mosquito bites: rub any product containing ammonia (e.g., window cleaner) directly into the wound. Doing this will stop any itching and you will not have a rebound itch a few days later.
Best Yet: Had so many ants I went crazy and then my neighbor handed me a small bottle of ant poison? Torro. Been 8 years and not an ant. Previously had paid an exterminator and that did not work. Buy Torro, your end of ants.
If indoors,depending on surface, spray "windex" type glass cleaner where ants are coming in (in our home, this was at corner of kitchen window frame). It kills them on contact, and if a bit of dampness is left, repels them.
I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.
Inside or outside?
