Another Ant Bite The Nuts.

I am so angry right now with my frenemies, the ants. Last week, I had one box of granola bars and I was supposed to put it in the pantry, but it was still a bit full, so I put it in an open kitchen cabinet. Two days ago, I saw a line of red ants on the kitchen wall so I followed their tracks to find out they went to the granola bars and ate them up. I was able to save more than half of them. Then there are these pistachio nuts that have been sitting in another cabinet with a cover. Today, I saw another line of ants again, and guess what, they found it too! I was surprised because it was covered, but these ants are really persistent. Those ants that ate our food were all sentenced to death by me. Some were able to escape but most of them were dead. But there are so many of them out there. I feel like my kitchen is safe from them. I guess I need to clean up again and again. I need to store everything properly in sealed containers. These tiny creatures may be small, but they are very determined.

Isn't there a kind of chemical you can use to eradicate them

Once ants get inside they are everywhere, good luck getting rid of them.

We've only seen two or three scout ants on our kitchen counter so far this spring. Pretty will need to go out and spray ant repellent around the kitchen windows and along the foundation under the kitchen. She normally only has to do that one time in the early spring and the ants don't come inside anymore. I keep the kitchen counters clean and the dirty dishes washed so nothing attracts them.

@rakski I believe you. If ants can find anything inside to attract them, then they'll be inside.

@DaddyEvil yes, that is why I need to check on the cabinets to see what can attract them and remove it

HAHAHAHA frenemies... I never heard that word a long time ago. I got a lot of rash on my back, neck, and legs not because of insect bites but because of the heat. My remedy is to put get a wet towel and put it gently on top of the rashes, until it subsides. Sometimes I put baby powder. When I got stuck in the strong heat, even on my cheeks, I got big red rashes.
