I find Dynamite works well. Just find where they are entering, scatter a few sticks around the entrance of the hole, light and run away fast. Works every time, no need to clean up what you spilled first either. Chanting at them also seems to keep them at bay.

my dad found a white paste in the dish washer, the ants where nesting... IN OUR DISH WASHER. He estimated 10, 000 baby ants!!!!

For a few weeks I had a steady ant situation I could not stop.
Crazy as it sounds, someone said sprinkle baby powder where you see them.... and it worked!

Hello Mark, i have black ants about this big
I will take your advice. They are coming out my electrical plugs
so I will take apart the ant trap and drop it in side the plate because
it is not doing any good sitting on the counter.

bought some insectigone dust killer, it doesnt work, like many say it does. i've tried the liquid bait, that doesnt work either, they keep coming back. i've the spray, it also hadnt done much. They only work for spot treatments, so what can i do to rid them perm?
