I try to buy the Raid and they laugh at it. I actually had a guy come out every month for like 6 months to spray thinking that would help and it did not. Anyone have some really unique ideas on how to eliminate ants? Recently tried a dryer sheet laying on the floor (I know sounds stupid but I am willing to try anything), Tried Borax Detergent with white sugar on top (Was told they would carry it back to the farm and it would kill everyone) I think it keeps they away in general but the ants seem to just walk around my trap.

Bug bombs seem to work nicely; make sure you cover up any appliances (TV, computer, stereo, and of course, comics) if using that method... Pick-ups this month ? On the way...

But went with a different pest control service about 8 yes ago. They spray quarterly and on request if I see bugs. No problems since. If you have a service and still have ants, you need a different service. The joy is in the journey, not just the destination.

SilentAssassin Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Midwest Posts: 2614 My Collection	Posted: March 1, 2012 10:53:19 am I will check it out for sure. These things are driving me batty plus having a 2 year old that makes messes and such does not help. I think they built this home on an ant farm. I know the weather is partly to blame but I am ready tear down the house and dose their farm with something that will put an end to them.

There is an artificial sweetener. I use it to kill off the ant in my patio. and it works. Cannot remember which brand it was Sucrose i think tt You build your collection one book at a time and day by day it seem to stay the same. Then one day KA BLAM it gotten out of control.
