better question: how do you kill them when they're all over your bed?

Dude, I had to move my bowl of cat food to another location, it was full of ants.

Yeah! Let's spray poisons all over our house because of a harmless* insect that is actually doing you a favor by cleaning your pig stye**!

Sounds like a great idea!

Seriously. If you want them to go away, quit feeding them.

*: Unless they are eating your house.
**: Unless they are getting into your cat/dog/people food.

IMO, unless the're carpenter ants and are living IN the wood of your house, they are not a pest.

They aren't dirty. They don't carry diseases. They're doing you a favor by cleaning your crumbs up, and you're doing them a favor by feeding them.

It's a win-win situation! 😉

Spray them and keep spraying until they quit coming back.

Simple Green kills them on contact and is non-toxic.

but simple green is more expensive than black flag or raid, for instance.

Years ago (like 10-15) I remember this working exceedingly well. I used it a couple of years ago with not so good results. . .Just one personal observation. . .

I know for kitches btw for the OP, mopping your floor with a vinegar solution will keep them away (as well as be an excellent, enviromental friendly, safe cleansing fluid). . .

boil water... :evil:

I disagree with the people saying to stop feeding them and they'll stop comming in.
They usually don't come in for food, and come in because of extreme weather conditions outside, ie too hot or too flooded.

What I do is get some really strong termite pesticide, and spray a ring around my house, and the stuff will stay there for a good 3 months, so ants would have to cross that border of poison in order to enter the house. Keeps em' out nicely.
