How to Get Rid of Ants

It is that time of year again when they start to invade.

Last year, I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water in the kitchen and when I turned on the light, there were thousands of those tiny brown ones, I think they were called "pharoah ants". I watched them march back into the outlet near the counter. They like to hang out in areas like that. We have black ants to but they come later.

Since there were so many of them I did two things to get rid of them.

1. While on the counter, I used Fantastic with Bleach, which paralyzed them instantly and just wiped them up and tossed them out. The bleach also throws off their little scent track.

2. An effective product is Terro. I use a piece of cereal box and put a drop of it on it then lay it out in near their entry and on their path. The ants find the "islands" and bring back the "juice" to the nest and feed it to the other ants.

Usually after three days, they are usually gone.

Make sure you clean your counters and floors well, a bleach product helps.
Put all food away including pet food.

Good luck.
