I have ants! Please help!  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
II came home today and was shocked and appalled to find that my kitchen floor is covered with ants. I was so surprised because I try very hard to keep our house as clean as possible. I traced them back and they seem to be coming in under the patio door. There are so many of them! I don’t know what to do and need help.

We called 2 exterminators who both recommended leaving the house for a week while they come to fumigate. For MANY reasons, we don’t want to do this, one of which is that besides our 11 month old ds, we also live with 6 indoor cats and 1 outside dog.

Can someone recommend an environmentally sound alternative? I’d love to just remove the ants without actually killing them, but there are so many, and I don’t know how to do that.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks so much!

I just came here to ask the same question so I hope you get some responses. Our ants are coming in our sliding glass door. This morning dd put a cookie in her play kitchen and it attracted a bunch of them. Yuck.

Here's a link to another thread about ants where I posted my remedy. HTH!
