    Hahaa you have the same problem I HAVE right now. I keep spraying ,they keep staying.

    They infiltrated this car that I was selling to, new owner didn't really care but damn. Didn't know they rolled like that.

    My buddy told me that grits works.

    SPOOLIN -- use the Amdro man. We used it when I was in the military and it was game over. Spraying is a waste of time.

    there is ant killer you can get at any HD and the powder works great and you can use much less than recommended and it still is effective fyi. it smells like rotten broccali just to warn you...

    Amdro doesn't smell - and you watch the ants take it "home" and feed it to the rest of the tards...

    If this is a recent problem, then it would be because of the rain we've had. The water is saturating the ground and flooding them out. They move to higher, drier grounds so they go where they have to. Rainfall is also the reason why you'll see above ground and below ground mounds. When rain seeps into the ground, the ants make their homes above ground.

    If this is a problem previous to the rain we've been getting lately, then the Amdro idea is the way to go.

    Grits is an old home remedy, but it doesn't really kill the source or residual problem. It's a quick, spot on "solution."

    Bombing the house would be a waste of time and money as the source is more than likely NOT inside your home.

    Being a pest control person for 6 years taught me a good bit. Later, QD.

    Amdro for the immediate kill, then cover the mound(s) with cornmeal. The ants eat it, feed it to the queen, can't digest it, die.

    White vinegar also works.

    QD is definitely right about the rain. They are charging into my house furiously through the window and door sills under the siding so I cant spray them until they are already in my kitchen.

    Screw the spray - ants can smell too. AMDRO --- feed them, they feed the queen - mound - game over.
