I hate those little bastards, they're everywhere now. We spray the house almost monthly and I resprayed inside and outside when I first saw them as well as laid those round poison bait thingies but to no avail. I found them in my bathroom where my brother left an empty coke can now and even in my bedroom. HELP!!!!! what should I do?
 
Find the main source.. or sources.. dump boiling hot water down there. cause it won't hurt anything (ie chemicals are bad for animals and such)

that's what i do at my house.. works rather well.
 
You're going to have to find the source, as others have mentioned. I'd also recommend keeping things extra clean. Even 1 crumb can encourage them.
 
I love ants. I keep two keyboards and alternately place them on a nest. They clean um spotless. Plus I love telling the census people I got 150 billion living here and they're all black.

Get some poison for them at your local store.

did you not read my post? I already sprayed and resprayed. and laid out traps that they're supposed to take back and kill everyone else.
so far it hasn't worked.

I looked for a nest before but couldn't find it. I'll try to look again now. they might be coming from the neighbor's property, 'cause he said he has them in his house too.

Oh wow...that's great...lol.


I live in pseudo-hick Ohio and we have these HUGE black ants (bigger than the typical big red ants). And recently, they've been finding my home an alternative to their dirt home. I get (literally) 1 cm long big black ants crawling around everywhere..DISGUSTING. 1cm may not sound very big, but I lived in California and am used to those itty bitty ants.

You mean they didn't already think you were nuts?

Yeah, like the others said. You have to go outside and poke around the grass and dirt to find their nest. I understand your frustration though, cuz they are persistent and numerous little jerks. Sometimes they make me wish I had a small tactical nuke in the milliton range.
