HOW DO I GET RID OF ANTS?!!!

Spray some poison outside where they are coming in. If there is an anthill, spray poison, or pour your coffeee there. Ants hate coffee like Muslims hate tall buildings.

Keep the kitchen counter very clean. Ants hate soap as well. Keep wiping it up with soapy water.

Ants leave a trail that you cannot see or smell for others to follow. You need to keeep wiping it up. Leave a little soapy water on the counter.

Or just spray some poison there and eat out for a day and then wipe it up.

Spray your foundation with Ortho Home Defense Max -- it works like a charm. I did this when I got ants last year and they were gone within 2-3 days. Lasted all year. Re-applied this spring, no ants this year. Found it at Lowes.

The best stuff that I've used is a professional grade pesticide, Demand CS, available from do-it-yourself pest control places - It works well, both inside and out. Google for it and you'll find online sites that sell it.

I tried Grants Ant Killer Traps 10 to a box.. They take it back to the Queen and all those ants are dead now. We'll have a funeral for them and a nice slice of chocolate cake. I put em on my kitchen counter and you can post them straight into the ground its like Chenobyl to the ants, they "don't come round here nomore"by Tom Petty.

Try a product called Terro. It works really well. Buy it in a hardware store, or maybe dept. store. You put the liquid out where the ants are present, just a drop or two on the little cardboard squares that come with it. The ants get into the Terro, then carry it back to the nest on their bodies, and it kills them. I have used it during any ant outbreak for the past 10 years, and it always works. I believe that it has boric acid in it.

Yep, Terro rules. Side benefit is that it's entertaining to watch the ants climbing all over each other to get to it.

rice.

If you put rice in the ant bed and on your counter and out the door the ants will eat the rice, then they rice will expand and blow them up.

so if you belong to PETA you may not like that idea, but it works.

CHEESE! put cheese all over your house- on your furniture, on the floor, and in your bed. ants LOVE cheese. then when they come out to get the cheese, you can face them in battle

You may laugh now, but trust me, fighting an onslaught of ants is no picnic(no pun intended).

The only advice I can give is, get like three tough dudes with you. I'd recomend Bear Gryles, Edmund Hillary, and the dude who sawed his own arm off.

Take off your pants

Oh yeah! I got that stuff at Lowes today and they are going nuts. It came with 6 cardboard squares to put the bait on but it wasn't enough. I started cutting up the box and put out about 20 squares with the Terro on it. It seems like I can't put out enough of them. They are enjoying a nice meal now but I'm sure they'll pay for it by morning. How many days does it generally take to wipe these bastards out with this stuff?

Oh, and on another topic, I think I recognize the guy in the photo linked by "FILTER". Isn't that the Pennsylvania official (I think he was the state attorney general or something) that shot himself on live TV about 15 years ago? I think his name was Bud Dwyer? I lived in PA at the time and remember seeing that happen.

yes, it's Bud Dwyer

you must defeat their leader in honorable combat

Seriously, buy Terro(SP?). It works
