HandyANDY - Handyman & All Repairs, LLC on Jun 18, 2012Ants have been a real problem this year. You need to treat the perimeter twice a year...you can get the chemicals from the Do-it-yourself-Pest Control shop either on Chamble Tucker Road near I-85 or the one out at Highway 78 in Lilburn near Lake LucernHelpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 18, 2012All great advice Leah, but you also need to find the moisture source that has attracted these bugs in the first place. When you see them they are only foraging for food. Their nest area is near moisture. Perhaps a very tiny leak under the sink? Or perhaps like Handy/ANDY said the perimeter of the house may be the issue. Check in that area also for tiny ant hills in the soil.Helpful Reply
