Apparently when I successfully ousted the first nest, a few stray might have lingered for I have just now found their new nest (drain pipe in floor). Mofos. I took the lid off and placed an ant trap right beside the hole...wish me luck that I never have to deal with these little buggers again.

A while ago I noticed ants in the laundry room and didn't know where they were coming from. I finally found the source and located an actual opening to a nest in the wall. I bought some traps and the liquid which worked well. I noticed the ants would only venture into a small section of floor.

Go on vacation; come back. More ants than ever and not only that, but are now all over the floor. So I'm at my wits end. I've done Google after Google and that's proven useless.

The room is clean, no food remnants, so this is really baffling me.

2 cents muchly appreciated.

Uh, googling won't make ants go away.

Keep your floors clean from candy.

Toro is what I use. Ants bring it back to their nest and feed it to the rest of them. If you have tried that stuff and they are still alive, then it's time to call a pro.
