If that's what they are they may not take any plain old ant bait. They nest in the wall above ground and in a circle with the queen in the middle. Any disruption seen as danger (such as spraying) and they're moving to another area sometimes forming satellite colonies. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/small-brown-ants#post-259 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:09:15 +0000 carmel 259@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I live in a single family home. Use baits, okay, any particular brand?

Do you live in a single family home or an apartment? Don't spray an over the counter pesticide it will only make them spread out into more colonies and make the situation worse. Use baits. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/small-brown-ants#post-257 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:12:20 +0000 carmel 257@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I have small brown ants in my kitchen. It appears they are not after food, because there isn't any out, and the counters are clean. Instead, they are eating the grout around my sink and have made holes in the grout on the kitchen floor to gain access to the kitchen. Does anyone know what kind of ant this is and what I can do to get rid on them. I live in Northern California. Thanks. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/cant-gid-rid-of-sugar-ants-in-the-pantry#post-220 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:39:37 +0000 getagrip 220@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>The "scouts" leave a scent trail for the others to follow..so first..break that scent trail..by washing down the area with soap. Remember that a crumb to you is like a huge wedding cake to an ant. re direct the ants OUTSIDE with bait stations. Do all ant control (Except pharoah ant) OUTSIDE. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/cant-gid-rid-of-sugar-ants-in-the-pantry#post-203 Tue, 27 May 2008 21:43:13 +0000 samoya22 203@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I've heard cucumber peels work too. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/cant-gid-rid-of-sugar-ants-in-the-pantry#post-200 Tue, 27 May 2008 16:50:56 +0000 rebehoff 200@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>For the last 2 months I've been battling Sugar ants in my pantry. I keep my kitchen clean, I try not to leave anything out on the floor or countertops or in the sink. Which with two small kids is extremely hard. But the ants aren't anywhere but in the pantry. I've bought so many clips to protect all of our food and I have to empty out the pantry and wipe down the shelves every 2 weeks. We've had the exterminator come to spray 3 times in the last 2 months. I don't know what to do - they're driving me INSANE! I'm going to try some Bay Leaves (mentioned in this site) but I was wondering if anyone else knows of anything else. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/sweet-ants#post-161 Thu, 01 May 2008 17:27:05 +0000 Lola 161@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I had tried all the things you can get in the stores to get rid of these ants. I found this website and used the Borax and powered sugar, I put it in a ziplock sandwich bag. (of course I left it open) I placed the bag on the counter at night the next day there was so many all over the place but I decided not to squish them and see what would happen. The next day ants were dead in the dishwasher and none on the counter.<br /> Its been three days and maybe I see one or two ants. They were in the dishwasher and always all over the counter. They are gone!!<br /> I do rinse my dishes, and try not to leave food out. These ants are real invaders they find a single crumb. But not any more, HaHa!!<br /> Try it definitely works. </p>
