What is the best way to rid my apartment of red ants?


Question:They are the little tiny ones, and they are driving me crazy. They are even on my soap?!? what could the possibly doing with my soap, washing themselves? Regular bug spray doesn't seem to do anything?

Any ideas? Green relief is especially helpful.

Answers:
A non-toxic solution is baby or talcum powder. If you can figure out where they come into the house just sprinkle some there. If not, you can make a line of the powder guarding areas against them. I know this sounds crazy but it really works. Something about the powder keeps them away.


one, keep all food put away and countertops clean and dry.
two, try some GRANT's Ant Killer--works like a charm, very little mess.
Three, treat your yard
Four repeat as needed (they will likly come and go all summer looking for water and food)
Spray kerosene oil on the affected area. Apply 2-3 times in a week to get rid of completely. Keep ur children away pls!
