How do you get rid of small nuisance ants?

About all you can do is burn the house down!

Ortho home defense indoor/outdoor spray

They are sweet ants. Mix 1/2 &1/2 sugar and boric acid. Spread allong walls.

I have pets so I never spray. I just watch them crawl around in my bathroom. For some reason, they love my bathroom Some ants are so small you almost can't even see them. I don't have the heart to kill them. But they don't cause any problems.

Medicated powder from the Dollar Tree. It has eucalyptus in it...menthol...I puff it around my homes foundation..and inside under my birdcages in the cracks under moldings. Work immediately and they never come back. I do this at the first sign of ants..in one day..GONE. The powder is in a very large container and lasts quite awhile too !! And smells great !

Not toxic to my birds OR dog

What if you make a barrier around the house.

I did some research, since we know what works for one person doesn't always work for another. I found this site and it's pretty informative. I know some tips you may not be able to use but there are some good ones also that will hopefully help.

Those little buggers are relentless, aren't they?!? This is the most effective method and all-natural spray DIY that we use with ants. It's best indoors, but will also work outside with more frequent applications. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
