.. seems the last few years now, when ever the weather starts to get warm, we get an invasion of these, what i call, piss ants.. these thing are super tiny, but omfg, so annoying..
our home is far from being dirty, and we don't keep any food stuff out that would attract the ants. tonight was the first that i have seen the invasion in the house for this year.. dinner time, went to microwave my food, and sat a clean, unused napkin in front of the microwave waiting for the bell.. when i went to pick up the napkin, it was covered in those tiny piss ants.. i ran the napkin under the faucet in an attempt to drown them..
in the past, i've used some pump bug spray stuff that i found at a home depot / lowes type of store. i went around the entire outside of the house, and sprayed the entire concrete block up from the ground, and stopped pretty much right below the window sills. this kills the ants dead on contact, but it doesn't really seem to put a dent in their colony, which i've yet to find.. our home is rather old, and i'm sure has many, many hidden cracks and stuff in the foundation that they could call home.. i'm not sure on the brand of the spray, i could check if needed..
last year i also googled some organic methods to get rid of them, like sprinkling cinnamon all over the house.. all that did was piss me off and make the house smell like cinnamon more than anything else.
i'd love to get this under control this year before they get out of control again.. and by out of control, i just mean having the damned things every where pretty much.. we don't keep any dirty dishes in the sink more than an hour or so, and surely don't keep any sort of open food laying around for them to get into... these lil suckers are so beyond starting to piss me off though.. we never had these things before the last, idk, 3 of 4 years now, and it's not like we've started doing anything different..
i know i have seen a few members on here in the past that seemed like they knew their shit, i think rory420 was one such member, and a few others, but man, any info on ridding myself of these pests would be greatly appreciated..
