Effin Ants

[SoonerInKCMO]

Ever since it turned warm, it's been like some sicko sci-fi ant invasion movie in my back bedroom. The Raid I'm spraying seems to be hurting me more than them. Short of torching the place (it is a rental), how does one drive these little six-legged freaks out? :mad:

I gotta stick a couple of those in the back yard. It's already like Wild Freakin' Kingdom back there with the snakes, lizards, rabbits and squirrels.

I wish I'd thought of that:D

Tempo 40 bucks a jug.

There is this liquid bait stuff...it is like crack to them. You put a drop of it on a piece of foil or something and they circle around it and suck it down and then they die. But not before they go tell all their friends where they can go find it. Really works well.

It might be Tempo but I pay like $5 for a little bottle and have had it a couple of years.

That looks like it...is liquid in a bottle?

It is wild...I couldn't stop watching it and checking the little puddles I had left around the kitchen.

Poor little ants. You people make me sick! :mad:

[sanantoniosooner]

How many bottles would it take for an aunt around........180 pounds?

[IronSooner]

I've had a ton this year. I just let them wander ignorantly into my bathroom. None have made it out so far.

[slickdawg]

This **** will do the trick. Ony catch? You have to be authorized to buy it.
slickwife is a chemical engineer and passed the test with the state board of
agriculture, so she has a license to buy it.

effin ants die in our house.

Man. How'd you like your *** to be that hairy?

[AlbqSooner]

You said it is a rent house? Chlordane. Pour a spoon full down the anthill and deny ever having done it. Slickwife MIGHT be able to get you some.

The aardvark has to be the coolest animal around. I mean, just LOOK at it!

[Chuck Bao]

I currently have a problem with **** ants. I've never had that problem before. Gee, I live in the very center of a city of 10 million people.

I'm really fine blasting them when I go to pee. But, I don't want to sit down with a lot of them ants around.

[sanantoniosooner]

Man. How'd you like your *** to be that hairy?
You got some special tonic for sale?

[LoyalFan]

Wait up, here!

Are these the little Pharoah Ants AKA **** Ants, Sugar Ants, etc.? I mean the teensy little red ones? If so, then Terro(TM) is the answer. However, if you have pets or very small non-obedient urchins in the house, be certain that you put the stuff where there's NO chance they can get to it. It's sweet, y'see, but deadly.


If you've been invaded by (shudder) Fire Ants AKA Solenopsis Invicta, then you need to disperse some Amdro(TM) or similar product. Again, be careful of placement.


Should you be finding little piles of very fine "sawdust", you have Carpenter AKA "Wood" Ants. This might require the services of a pro (exterminator! Not what Stanley might think.) These fairly sizeable suckers will destroy yo' house!

Here's handy guide to ID-ing the lil' demons. Scroll a bit for a general ant ID guide. (General Ants???? OMG!!!)

Those are the ones... Looks like a trip to Lowe's for some Terro is in order.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I haven't seen any yet, but I know I'll start getting some soon. They like to congregate in my shower. Is that Terro stuff waterproof?

[jk the sooner fan]

once you put the stuff out, you can find out where they are coming in from...they'll be a stream of them headed to the terro

we had the little pieces of cardboard with hundreds of ants around the liquid "bellying up to the bar"

drink up fellas! take that goodness back to your queen

[sanantoniosooner]

No..........but I suppose you exit the shower at some point?:D

No, and it also hardens up after a while. You can put a tiny drop warm water on it before it gets totally hard or just replace it.
Again...Caution with pets and kids!
You'll see the little &%$! gathered around like pigs at the swill for a day or three, then...all quiet on the western front...sniff.
Try to place the stuff directly on their major trade routes, so close to entry points as possible.

This should really be someone's sig. :D

[Chuck Bao]

I laughed and then asked myself, "WTF?"

Dang, I misspelled it. ****ants, that is.

I never had that problem before. But, I was staying at a four-star upcountry hotel and they had the same problem. Why this is a sudden problem, I don't know.

I did have an ant infestation in my underwear drawer three years ago. Although I was told, at that time, that it was safe to spray insecticide, I was still afraid of napalming my balls off.

The stuff is amazing...really. I wish I had a picture of it...they all gather around like it is a feast or something. Amazing.
