ANTS!!!!!!!!!!

Thu Apr 8, 2010, 8:00 AM
I have an ant problem in my room. I remember seeing a few random bugs last September when I moved in but nothing like this. This is like..I'm stepping on about 30 each time I get up to go to the fridge so I have to keep my shoes on. I've probably dropped alot of food stuff on the ground so that might be a contributing factor in their preference for my room and not the bathroom or kitchen so much.

Got to leave school early due to paint fumes today.

Aaaand what else. Oh packin' up stuff in boxes and getting ready to move. No art for a while, k? I know I've been posting shit on a regular basis but things are changing now that school is nearly over so...thems tha breaks!

Don't worry tho..there will be more at some point. :)

Oh, I got the WHITE ALBINO llama btw. Yeah, I'm an official mega loser.

Heya JessFox! If a totally strange stranger (just ask :iconoperative274: ) may jump in here, go to your local Lowes or whichever and getcha some Terro pre-filled liquid ant baits (6 to a box). Ants love it, but the best part is they take it back home and it wipes'em out there. Worked a charm in my kitchen for sure. Best luck with moving!

OK "Terro" is what I will look for specifically. I just hate ants. I was traumatized by ants as a kid so even two weeks of this is terrible!!!! Thank you very much for the advice, I'll remember to look for it! :)

Are you serious? They like cheezies? I'm grossed out on so many levels because of that. Cheezies are so gross. the fact that ANTS like them...is puke inducing.

well I was hungry...it's suddenly gone away.

Something about the combination of those two things make each one so much worse. Cheezies, aren't really even food, so why are ants drawn to them. Gross.

As a quick fix? Ammonia based cleaners disrupt the scent trails they leave to lead other ants in, as does vinegar. What you want to do is find their point of entry, spray antspray or bleach along their route, then a perpendicular to keep them from trying to re-establish a beach head.

If incursions reoccur, we'll discuss Stage Two and home made flame-thrower and machine-gun nests.

They must be coming in through the door, I can see them coming back and forth. I have access to bleach, I will try that! You're SMRT!!! Thank you :)

The flame thrower might be more fun than the bleach but I don't think the landlord would approve.
