    If they are sugar ants (very small black ants) try putting a small dish of borax under your kitchen sink)

    I have used a bounce sheet, fold it so it's like a strip, then tuck it under the door moulding on the floor, stuff it good if you can. They don't like to pass it. that worked on a certain kind of small ones. I buy raid in a little bottle, it's like a gel, and put a little line of it where you see them. Away from any other pets and young children. It attracts them and they line up along this little trough. They take that back to their nest and it kills the colony. It takes a while to get rid of them, maybe a week. I live in a cabin in the woods and this year they are bad. If there is a lot crawling around I keep the vacuum plugged in and just vacuum them up as well. Ants are attracted to some foods too. So keep the floor clean. Good luck!

    I mix a great ant repellant. One part borax, one part granulated sugar and one part honey. Put it in a re-used plastic container with a lid and poke little holes around the lower part of the container. It will keep pets safe. It works like magic! It's gooey...but effective.

    a pest tech suggested TerraPro - bought it at Walmart. doesn't cost much and comes in little flat containers - 6 to a box. just cut off the end at the redline and put it where you see the ghost ants. they will swarm it and then be gone. leave the container for about a week as they might come back. haven't seen any since I did this a month ago.

  • packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are coming in if you can find it, or even on your counter in a small lid. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.
