Re: Help me Caltrops, I've got ants.
[quote name="Mysterio, "Ant Crisis Line""][quote]I don't get it. What do they want? What are their goals?[/quote] Ha ha, like ICJ said they're doing what they do. There's no negotiation to be had with the dirt worshiping <i>ANT MEN</i>. Bad news is once they get inside, then it attracts further ants to follow that trail. So spray vinegar around where you've seen the ants traveled to clean off that scent. [quote name="Bug Slayer"]Terro brand liquid traps[/quote] Yeah, place traps and bait where figure they're crawling into. Simplest is something like borax & sugar in bottle caps (YMMV, maybe they'd prefer protein to sweets? Had that problem w/ wasps recently). Seal up any visible gaps around floors/walls/tiles/cabinets etc. I prefer non-toxic sealant, but it can a bitch to find.[/quote]
