We are being overtaken with itty-bitty ants. Can't find where they are coming from,seldom have a trail, but they are having a wonderful reunion at our house. Any suggestions on how to move them out of here? Terro only seems to feed them.

Our exterminator has a gel that comes in a tube. I sprayed the ones I saw, then squirted it out where they trail and they disappeared and have not come back.

Do you know the name of the gel? I've used a spray but that only kills the one that get sprayed and then the rest come to the funerals! Big families apparently!!

I don't think so....they have crawled up my leg a few times. Besides if they bite me you can bet your sweet tunia I'm gonna bite back! :thumbup:

I have used Toro - little gel like stuff that you put on a piece of cardboard. Works great!

Check out that Ortho stuff- it has a nozzle that you spray a fine stream along all your baseboards and exterior foundation.
Works great. My sister had the same problem and she uses it twice a year or so and has never had a problem since.

I also use the ortho spray around the baseboards, windows and got rid of ants (also put a few ant traps out)

I have tiny tiny little black ants..they don't get in food..but they are on the counters in my kitchen. I put ant traps out and I still have them. Where to you buy Toro?
I am ready to pull my hair out!
