Need help in exterminating ants! email this discussion to a friend?

wildboarking (90)10 months ago

I live in a high rise flat. However, the ants seem to be able to enter! When ever I place food on the table, they would sense it in a matter of seconds! Everytime I patch up an ant hole on the wall, they just simply make a new one at the other corner of the house. Any one has special formulas for stopping the ants? (besides calling in the pest controls)

why dont you use insecticide no need to call for a pest controls you can do it by your own just make sure you put a mask and glove to protect your self and spray those area where they come and go:-)

Thanks for the tip, pinay81. However, I've tried it already and they just simply choose a different path to "attack".

haha...
use chili powder..
i heard it works wonders..
also having a clean house by not having leftovers in and plastic wrappers around will help alot!!!
we do that and we dont usually get any problems with house pests...
good luck!!!

Go to lowes and get this stuff called "Toro". It's in a orange and white bag, by Beyer (yes the aspirin people). THe bag has it's own net inside so you just open and shake.
YOu can also get some kits that have basically a gel like stubstance, that you squeeze onto little pieces of cardboard and place around the house. I believe it has boric acid it in. We used these last year adn it worked like a charm. This year we got the bag and knock on wood, so far I have only seen 2 little piss ants!
Good luck
