Theres these things that you can buy that look like little houses. they have poison in them and an ant goes into it. then the ant comes back to where the queen lives and the queen dies and so does the colony. i forgot what the name is called im sorry.

cant you use a spray or something?

Plaster the holes that could be around the place and put the pesticide in all possible entrance. It will help. It helped me.

OMFG. The idea of that many cockroaches running around the house makes me die a little inside. I’d go to a friend’s house and cry.

I doubt Home Depot or anything is open this time of night, so I suppose we’ll get some powder nstuff tomorrow.

Gaahhhh.

you sicko cookie…pouring hot water on ants?!?!?!?

if i were you, i would get a magnifying glass. and aim it so the sun goes through it, then put it on the ants and fry thier a*ses!!
hhehehe
i dont know about where youre from, but here you can buy these things called ant bombs. you find where theyre coming from, put this bomb thing next to it and it kills them all.
the only real way to get rid of them once and for all though, is to find and get rid of the whole colony.
you can rest assured, that for the million that you can see, there are about 20 billion more, running round underneath the floor and stuff…..
maybe fumigate?

I just realized, I’m limited in options of things to kill them because I have a cat. What can I put down that would be safe for him?

I don’t think they’re stupid. Dogs’ll drink antifreeze if you let them, not because they’re stupid but because it tastes sweet.
