Anyone know a good exterminator? When I first moved in on Saturday, I kept finding a few ants here and there in the kitchen so I’d just squash them and go on about my business. Well, I kept finding them so I went out and got some Raide ant killer….I’ve sprayed those little boogers about 100 times and they still return…Maybe by the end of the lease we’ll have killed them all. It’s like they are doing the macarena in my kitchen… Just when you think they are gone, more come back. Help…any suggestions?
Ants hate coffee grounds.

ya, the only problem is that they are on the top of the cabinets so I can’t put coffee grounds on them.
maybe we can figure out where they’re coming in from and put some there. also if we see them traveling along the same route we can put some there. that might discourage them. who knows?
When you kill one ant or spray them if you don’t get every single one, the next ant in line will go back to the colony and “report” that they are being attacked and to send in more, kind of like reinforcements. Try not to kill any more of them. Just set out ant bait traps, which you can find in any supermarket. Put the traps out in the middle of one of the ant line formations so they will have to go through them to get to wherever they’re going. In a few days to a week, after they’ve been back to their colony with the bait they’ll stop coming in.
Thanks! I’ll have to try it.
BTW – where did you find that silly picture of an ant?
I found it on google images.
