I’ve got an ant problem.

Last year in another house, I had one, and since have got a fear for insects, especially swarming insects.

Last year my mum didn’t want to buy any ant food traps on the internet, so she just got a can of raid, and I used that when ever I saw any ants. We never got rid of the ant problem, we only stopped them for a day or two till they found a new trail, then cut that one off, and so on.

Right now theres a small swarm in the kitchen, and one or two scouts wandering, and the can of raid from last year has disappeared (we moved house). Last year they were wondering around the living room, and now that they are in the kitchen this time its scares the living **** out of me.

Any tips to ward them off/kill them for now till I get new ways of killing them/getting rid of them.

P.S. I’m 16, so thats why I live with my mum.
