Ants in the refrigerator

Lower your air. LOL Make your house so cold the pests won't come in. Luckily, we don't have that problem. We usually spray once a month or so. I hate spiders! LOL

*knock on wood* while we do have ants it's a minimum, and I don't think we've ever had them inside our refrigerator. My grandmother has them pretty bad each year. We spray outside the house each year insecticide, and inside the house as well so that helps a great deal to keep the pesky things away. Though we tend to get bees inside our house.

That was strange thing happen. I had spillover soda in my fridge too, a few time, but never have ants into the fridge. The cold environment in the fridge makes the ants cannot smell the soda. And usually, they don't want to get near the cold place like fridge.

I think for temporarily, until this ant thingy subside, try to put in plastic folders, you know those that are like transparent and can be sealed.. like a zipper transparent bag, seal drinks in those, or just in any plastic bags. And store in a basket or something, away from the other foods like meat and poultry. So the ants will not go on affecting the food instead. Or a longer cut way, you could take out all your things from the fridge, get a wet cloth with a detergent and wipe everything off. Then have a clean start and wash the bottom of bottles and cans. Sometimes sugar and milk stuck there might be attracting them. Another different solution is to get a new fridge.

hi. i am again. neem, you also use these leaves to get rid off from ants. i have enclosed a photo here with.

hi canellita same problem in my home too. so my mom use lavanga(clove) to get rid off from them. it is effective and surely reduce the quantity of ants. thanks.

if the environment in your house was inhospitable for bugs, it would also be inhospitable for you - unless you want to live in an igloo...

there used to be ants in my refrigerator too before. I had the gaskets fixed and now there are no more ants. Better have the gaskets of your refrigerator repaired so you won't be seeing those univited guests again.

I never heard of ants in the refrigerator before. That's pretty gross. I feel sorry for you. I can see how the ants would want to get some of the sweet sugar from your soda. I guess you won't be putting soda in the freezer again.

It also happen to my fridge and small ants could goes through the lining of the refrigerator especially when sweet food debris fall into the compartment. The ant could smell it and you know what i do I defrost my fridge and clean it. Thus, the ants is not coming anymore. Well, in your cases the ants smell the sweetness of the soda which splattered while I do not put soda inside a freezer it is not suitable instead i put it in the lower compartment.

Yuck, you better migrate to the cave with Mommaj! I can't imagine ants in the refrigerator. If ants can get in, that means the cold air can get out, and that means the refrigerator is consuming more electricity than is necessary. Are you going to make a cup of ants coffee or ants soup? I'm sure the protein will benefit all of you if you can swallow the thoughts of eating ants. Otherwise, send to Mommaj!

Hello Canellita, No matter how sealed tight your refrigerator is, if the spill from a soda is everywhere, it can be linked or smelled by other creatures like ants and finds they're way inside your refrigerator. I know because it happened to me too, i think it's best not to complain about the ants since they did smell it. the best way for you to do it is to simply clean your refrigerator and void your soda from bursting. and why would you put the soda in the freezer when you can put it in the lower area. well, make sure you don't forget, or same case might happen again, cleaning the refrigerator is the only solution there.

Hi canellita: that was interesting but at the same time i know how annoying ants can be so that's not funny. We all have to deal with those bad plagues but at least my refrigerator works. The answer to your question it's simply, if your house environment would be just as your refrigerator's maybe this would kill you too! Lol. XD

How could the ants even manage to get inside the refrigerator, the environment in there is very hostile for them. . . That's interesting, it must be a genocide for ants. Just clean your home and hope for the best that the these creepy crawlies would stay of your home. Hey why not call for the bug exterminator?

Well, making your house be as cold as the refrigerator would be pretty bad for your health. Ants have the ability to appear from nowhere when any accident happens in the kitchen. Sometimes I wonder if they have the power to transport themselves magically to any place where they can get a lot of food!
