I am so sorry for your ant situation....Oh my word. I am so sorry for your ant situation. We have been there! I have had the BUG people out and still it did not help. Then I was talking to my husbands Aunt and she said to try corn meal! I was willing to try anything at this point. So, I sprinkled corn meal where ever I saw ants. The ants get all excited and come and get it, then take it back to the nest. When they eat it, it expands in their tummies and, well, they die. When the BUG people came out one of the times they said it is very important that you get the nest, otherwise when they start dying off from the poison or the traps they think they are under attack and start rapidly reproducing! So, with the cornmeal they do not think they are under attack, they think it is a cool treat! So, try that. The one thing to note is that at first they all come out to get the cornmeal and you think, OH MY WORD there are so many of them. Then there are fewer and fewer and after about 3-4 days, gone. If they come back, put more down. I was so thrilled to find this simple and easy fix to my ant problem I had to share it with you.

One mor...yep, been there done that. It's not fun. One morning I got up to find a whole ant hill (really an ant HILL) built right inside the sliding glass door. I don't know where they came from, but they must've been building all night long! I cleaned it up and never saw ants there again.
