Why are sugar ants in my house?
Question:
Answers:
Ants don't care for mint or citrus, cloves or bay leaves, so think orange peel, peppermint tea, lemon juice, ground cloves, etc. If you can plant mint around the foundations of your home, you may deter them from entering. Vinegar has the same acid as citrus, so use it to clean with and ants won't feel welcome. (It probably erases or overpowers the odor trail other ants have left for them to follow.)
Clean bench tops and cupboards down really well, and then wipe down with a clean damp cloth that has a few drops of essential peppermint oil on it, you may need to apply a few drops of oil a couple of times.
Ants hate the smell of it and it is also environmentally friendly, and safe for humans and children, and no residue powders etc to clean up. And the big bonus is that the room smells fresh and minty. I also want to add that you can put the oil on a cotton ball after cleaning and put in the areas you have ants and that should help too...replace once the smell is gone.
I hope this was helpful,Good Luck! :)
Apparently their is sugar lying around in your house.
could be you are really sweet! sorry I know thats no help, but it just sort of popped out.lol
Because you live in a nasty environment.
Because they are not outside.
They are looking for food. Lysol antibacterial kitchen cleaner works great on them, kills them and they don't come back as long as you keep the areas clean.
There are in everyone's house. Wipe/scrub your floors where they are with a bleach solution. They seem to want to come into my house after a rain. Wipe your thresholds, too.
yes i have the same problem righ tnow in my desk i have this ants and i guess if we keep laying sugary things in the desk they will never go away. so we should be keeeping it clean, always.
