I live in central Missouri, the ants are terrible. We have ants all over our damn house, my home is very clean, I think my wife has OCD. We have tried the raid crap, we have had an exterminator leave traps around the house. We moved the trash can 100 yards from the house....anyone know any tricks? No of any real solutions? I'm not the only one, many of my customers and employees seem to have the same issue. HELP!!! Lol

Nothing you can do. We get sugar ants too and nothing works.

The only thing I have tried that works is to follow the stream of ants to where they're coming from outside - then - and I'm serious here - take lighter fluid and squirt it in their hole and back down their trail. Don't light it. Just let it dry. There may be several of these nests so you may have to do this a few times. We had ants real bad down in CA and this was the only thing that actually worked. They've taken all the real ant killers off the market.

Sprinkle salt where you see them the most.

Do this seperately from the salt but pouring vinegar around countertops works too.

But those are temporary fixes. For a more long term, get a termite guy to treat your house. Kill 2 bugs w/ one stone...termites (if anything it prevents them) and ants. We had our house done in April and haven't seen an ant since.

I heard if you put out cornmeal it zaps them pretty quick.

I got them in my condo everywhere and here is what worked.

Terro ant traps. They were gone in a day and let me tell you I was frustrated as hell with them. But so you know it brings them out in droves. Within a few hours of placing the traps there was a stream of them that had me concerned. They were gone the next morning. I've recommended those traps to a couple of people and they got the same results.

I also has those black and red ants around the outside of my place. I put out one of those traps and within two days there were shitloads of dead ants on the ground.

Haven't seen either kind around since then. I am Antslayer. Say my name!

By the way Jugg.....there is a thread waiting for you in the weight loss challenge portion of this establishment.

Probably a good call.

These guys have a line of products you could look at:

go organic,..... sprinkle some oatmeal..not the instant kind. When they eat the oatmeal it expands from the moisture in their stomachs.


Cinnamon also screws up the trail they leave behind for other ants

Yup I had a typo.....I was thinking about the sandwich hahaha.

One of my favorite Denis Leary bits is from No Cure For Cancer. If you haven't heard it get it, if you can get the DVD it's even better than just the audio because there is a little more on it.

Anyway he is going on about vegatarians and such and then drops this gem.

"If god didn't want us to eat animals why did he make them outta meat?" :lmao:
