for the last two weeks i have been having a lowkey battle with ANTS
Ash!!1
I don't know if they're sugar or water ants or what! They keep popping up!
Ash!!1
I have bought two different ant baits, i sweep every day and after meal prep! AND YET, THEY PERSIST
Ash!!1
JUST STRAYS HERE AND THERE
Ash!!1
i keep getting randomly bit
Ash!!1
please die
Ash!!1
WHERE ARE ALL THE SPIDERS I'VE LET LIVE IN MY APT
Ash!!1
DO YOUR JOBS!!!
Ash!!1
cry
HALF A HEART
OH ANNOYING?? is it possible they're getting in via a neighboring unit??
Ash!!1
i don't knwo!!
Ash!!1
i suspect its cuz my kitchen/kitchen window borders some trees outside but plz
Ash!!1
i just want to get a drink without finding an ant once this month
chilly pepper
do you have any perimeter spray? applying that inside and out might help
HALF A HEART
ah yeah that might do it... still
when i was getting ants in the high rise (how?? good question) spraying them and their paths with vinegar water really helped me despite not being able to spray outside
Ash!!1
chilly pepper : i'm on the second floor but at this point i'll try sob
chilly pepper
if they're black with whitish on their butts and super tiny they may be ghost ants. also do they... smell. if you squish them
Ash!!1
at least can try spraying the windows
Ash!!1
GHOST ANTS those were the others i was trying to think of
Ash!!1
i don't think those are them because some have been super tiny while others have been big/regular sized
chilly pepper
ghost ants and odorous house ants both have a Stink when you squish em that's like. crazy obvious
HALF A HEART
i didn't know ants came in stinky..
Ash!!1
oh nah then, cuz i've wacked a good few on the stove and counter
Ash!!1
tho i'm also stuffed up cuz allergies so WHO KNOWS
chilly pepper
oof
chilly pepper
HALF A HEART : yeah i get odorous ants as one-offs every so often during summer when i have the windows open and they fucking reek
Ash!!1
i found them in one of my SHOES yesterday
Ash!!1
what are you doing dudes!!
chilly pepper
hmmmm though. i remember some of the tiny ants are weird to treat bc they dont care about most traps... i havent had to deal with them myself though
chilly pepper
we just get the little black ants up here for the most part and perimeter pest spray and average traps usually did the trick
Ash!!1
i might have to try the pest spray or some gels then yea
Ash!!1
i aint doing no pet sitting for the next little while so i will just put chemicals ALL OVER MY FLOOR

I was today years old when I learned that ants came in stinky.
dragillionaire
the fact that they were in your shoes is???? what are you looking for dudes.... there is not food in there...?
chilly pepper
ftr perimeter spray basically just goes in corners and shouldn't be toxic to pets just existing nearby
Colorless Juice
when ants were getting into the shop we pretty much solved the problem by following them back to where they were getting in, and there were little cracks/gaps in some grout they were going through, so we filled that in and I guess that was the only way they were getting in because they stopped
wâfel
if you're worried about pets, baking soda along areas where they might be coming in (like window sills) helps. It disrupts their scent trails and basically blinds them

they also hate cinnamon

a sprinkling of cinnamon powder will only be effective for so long but I got a lot of mileage out of repeated applications when my bedroom kept having ant problems

Oh spiders don’t fuck with ants
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
There is very little out there in nature that will willingly go after ants
chilly pepper
meaner, more insane ants
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Lizards. Anteaters. And that’s about it!!
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Also recommend following the little shits to see where they’re coming in. It can take a while but it’s kind of fun
Ash!!1
thanku friends ive acquired a small bottle of perimeter spray during my break!!
Ash!!1
gonna deep clean tonight and then spray all over before i leave for work tomorrow X-(
Ash!!1
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶 : u know what, fair. i don't wanna fuck with ants either weep
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Spiders run from ants. Ants will kill and eat them D:
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
ANTS DO NOT BE FUCKING AROUND
Ash!!1

Ash!!1

Ash!!1
