Help me /an/, you're my only hope.
Seriously, I've had it up to here with these damn little black ants invading my kitchen this time of the year. I'm too cheap to get an exterminator, and I don't want to run out and buy a bunch of sprays that won't work. So tell me, how to get rid of these things yesplease?

Where do they come from?
Lure them away with sugar.

Make a trail of food leading to an ant farm.

Capture them.

Watch the little fuckers for your amusement.

OP here. They probably come in through window cracks, since the kitchen is on the second floor/deck level. I don't know where the sugar would lead. ...the stove, maybe?

Ant specialist here ^^

They've probably made a nest under the tiles outside your door.

A slow but effective way to get them out is by filling their nest entrances with sand. Keep filling them up; start closest to your house.
They will find you very ennoying and make another hole, but this time one tile further away from your house. It may take a while to get them to make the first new hole further away, and it will take you alot longer to get them very far away, but at least then you are sure they won't amass around your kitchen door and go in anymore.

Depends on the species btw, if ur getting visited by "egyptian ants" ur fucked, u'd do best to find another house... (really really small yellow ants)

p.s.
Pouring hot water into their nest WILL NOT work for shit...

Sprinkle diatamaceous earth around where they are visible.

it gets into their exoskeleton and fucks them up.

very easy, pour lighter fluid into their nest, and light them up! all the ant hills in my backyard turned into volcanos that day...

If you live in the southern half of the U.S. and they're Argentine ants, you're pretty much fucked.

Buy ant pheromones and train them to bring food to YOU.

Damnit? I do live in the South. I took a bottle of orange-scented 409 to the little bastards last night and left their tiny corpses out as a warning to other invaders. I also sprayed the window cracks where I saw them coming in. So far it seems to be working.

my mom used to put borax (I think it was mixed with sugar so they'd take it back to the nest) all along the bottoms of the cabinets in the kitchen (one day I thought "what a mess" and vacuumed it all up. boy was she mad)
Other scent-disrupting tricks I've heard are lemon scented cleaners, baby powder, vinegar or chili pepper
and supposedly spreading cream of wheat everywhere will make them explode.

we had problems with ants coming into my house and bothering the shit out of us. so we finally went out and bought the "combat quick kill formula" for ants. all you do is lay the little things along their trail and they take the stuff in it back to the nest and it kills the queen and all the others. it worked immediately, the next day we had a couple of random ants wandering around and that was it.
i seriously didn't expect it to even work.
>> P.E.T.A
Those are horrendous and barbaric ways to deter ants

Ants are living creatures!!!!!!!

They have every right just as you to live!!

Do not kill ants!!!!

Good, then you know what grits is. Leave some grits out, they bring them back to the nest, when they eat them they explode. This usually kills the queen as well.

Play Sim Ant, learn their weaknesses. I suggest lawnmowers, rain, and a big ass spider.
