Ants have entered my home

[aidanjm]

Solutions?

 

[Accipiter22]

sugar pile in front yard. seal off wherever they're getting in. I'm the same way, i always pick up em and throw em outside

 

[MX2]

Aardvark?

 

[y2kc]

can of lysol + match = fried ant...

 

[FoBoT]

eat them?

get a pet that will eat them?

move out?

oh wait, you are that PETA dude

why not just live with them? if you equate ants to people , then just think of it as having a friend become your roommate

get them to make an ATOT account and get them to post here

 

[hjo3]

Solution: Grow a pair and buy some Raid...?

 

[moshquerade]

you can't "discourage" ants except to keep your place clean.

this stuff will discourage them permanently.

 

[broon]

They're ants. They love anything sprayed out of an aerosol can. Try it. For added effect, light a lighter in front of the spraying can.

stop being a woman and kill the pests

you think a woman wouldn't kill ants?

 

[Mermaidman]

Don't you live in Australia? I saw on TV you have some killer ants there--some primitive species that more closely resemble wasps than ants.

Anyway, you need an anteater.

Found it:
Jack Jumper Ant

I think having an anteater as a pet wud be pretty cool ...

I don't like to move them, because I worry they might lose their trail and won't be able to find their way back to the nest. It's a sad lonely death for a lost ant.

Where would she find the time between being pregnant and cooking meals for her husband?

I've known some women who are deathly scared of bugs.
These are few and far between, but they are there.

then just live with the fvkers!

your options are basically:

kill them.
lead them out so they come right back in.
kill them.

 

[nakedfrog]

Baking soda sprinkled around their entry points.

 

[OulOat]

Interbreed with them so they join your PETA family.

that's pretty interesting. I'd never even heard of them.

 

[IGBT]

..wipe the place down wit a mild solution of bleach and water. messes up their scent trails so they retreat and plan an assult on someone else.

I thought the humorous intent was obvious, but apparently it's not.

For the record, I don't really believe women spend all their time being pregnant or cooking...

That stuff takes up, like, what, 80% of their time? 90% tops? There's plenty left over for crocheting sweaters and buying groceries.
