Yikes Ant Invasion!!!!!!

[octobermoon]

help.......i have been battling ants in my kitchen for days. they are now in my food cupboard i cleaned it out and put things in bags that i thought they may be attracted to like honey for example. i even went out and bought ant baits, i know they probably aren't green but i hate these ants. i feel at a loss for what to do to combat them, i looked online and all i saw was mainly that you should be clean..... duh, which i am pretty clean and now i am spotless.....anybody have any suggestions, i feel at my wits end!

If they are the little ants, get Terro. : I use it when I have to. It works within a few days.

Wow, look! The FAQ on Terro makes me feel so much better. No bag for me!

Q: I accidentally stepped on one of the ant traps. How toxic is this bait and will this exposure harm me? What if my cat or dog gets into the bait and eats some?
A: TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait is a sweet food based product similar to pancake
syrup combined with Borax. Borax is a mineral that is mined in the desert
in California and is a common active ingredient that is used in soap
products such as 20 Mule Team Borax.

The product kills ants but will not harm people or pets. If you spill some
on your skin there will be no reaction at all. Simply wash with warm water.

Pets occasionally find the Terro and eat it. Our advice when this happens
is to do nothing at all. The product is not toxic enough to cause a problem
and the pet will be just fine.
