Bezerk Member 'I Speak The Truth.' Level 27 Posts: 1,717 Submissions: 82 | Yeah, At the moment we've tryed everything... Raid, Antrid (Honey and some type of poison that can kill me.) and were out of options... Looks like a bug guy is the way to go. |

Wash the walls down with hot water and dish soap (this removes their scent tracks). Get a few of those ant traps and put them out. Do note that they DO NOT kill the ants themselves, but instead they return this to the queen ant, who eats it and dies -- thus destroying a colony. If there are cracks they're getting in at, get modeling clay (similar color as the crack) and fill it in (assuming you don't feel like plastering and painting). Also, get rid of ANY food that might be out (dirty dishes, empty cups, etc) and put flour and powdered sugar in tupperware or ziploc bags. They love both. |

 MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | Not that I would recommend doing this inside, but outside, I usually take an aerosol can of flammable material (starting fluid, spray adhesive, etc) and a lighter, and make a ghetto flame thrower and burn the shit out of them. |

Toasty SysOp Level 40 Posts: 7,388 Submissions: 227 | ^As a note, starter fluid/carb and choke cleaner FUCKING BURNS if you get it in cuts or eyes. Trust me. Although those methods are highly effective  |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | I can attest to both. As a side note, never use starting fluid with a standard lighter. Use a grill lighter (the longer ones) I used a zippo with it, and I burned all of the hair off my hand and arm. Not that it hurt, but man did it smell like ass. |

ecko Member 'MMA Expert' Level 27 Posts: 1,782 Submissions: 66 | I used to like to sit on the side of the road and put clear school glue all over ants. I would also take grasshoppers that had there big legs fall off and try to make legs for it... There was a dragonfly one time that had a big gash on it's chest and was almost dead, and me and my friend tried to make stitches for it out of a pine tree thing... it didn't help. I used to be fucking creative... |

Toasty SysOp Level 40 Posts: 7,388 Submissions: 227 | Something I do, and usually tell people is this: Flyswatters do nothing for flies. Use Windex. May sound dumb, but spraying Windex over flies not only has minimal accuracy requirement, the fluid particles weigh down their wings and cause them to fall to the ground, leaving you to make up your own creative removal method. I usually choose the method shown in Cockbutter's images (American History X style). |

| DarkestAngel Removed Account | Quote BA: Flyswatters do nothing for flies. Use Windex.LMAO oh god, I thought I was the only one that did that... Aerosol hairspray works well too. My house I grew up in was invaded by those big ass carpenter ants. We had to cut the tree down out front where they had nested. I had one of those Rainbow vacuums with the water tanks and I would pull up the edges of the carpet and fill the tank with ants. I took those funnel shaped Japanese Beetle traps and fille it with sugar water and put it on the floor and a few hours later it would be filled to overflowing. It was horrible. Those fuckers bite, too. |

 Indy Member 'Garburator' Level 45 Posts: 1,935 Submissions: 95 | If they are big ants, put a bowl out, with water in it. They will climb in. I tried this and it works. |
Deny! Deny! Deny! |

| DarkestAngel Removed Account | ^^Something like that would work for small problems. Won't even put a dent in a major infestation. |

Bezerk Member 'I Speak The Truth.' Level 27 Posts: 1,717 Submissions: 82 | I have a MAJOR infestation. Thankyou alot for your help... |

| DarkestAngel Removed Account | Those rat sticky pads catch em too even tho they fill up quick. Exterminator is about all you can do, unless those things work that you plug em in and they emit an electronic squeal that chases critters out. n |

Bezerk Member 'I Speak The Truth.' Level 27 Posts: 1,717 Submissions: 82 | We dont want to piss them off, just kill 'em. The problem with an exterminator is that they'll be back next year... Its a never ending cycle. |

ecko Member 'MMA Expert' Level 27 Posts: 1,782 Submissions: 66 | I will just suggest an exterminator. Or... Google it YES! First one to use the google tag with intent of them actually following it! |
