But ants come into your home 'by invitation' so to speak. Leave food accessible and they will come and they are masters at finding it too. (that's actually a misnomer. All foraging ants are female) As I said the other day They're very good at showing you where your hygiene weak spots are. Just follow the trail. Don't blame the ants. ????

Too bad the same thing can't happen to radical (terriorist) Muslims. ???? Seriously, while it looks like a crazy thing the fact is when ants go into action it's organized as if collectively the ants are operating with one single big brain. Fascinating creatures indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex girlfriend – and she was from my home country – learned mind control and talked to the ants, and made deals with a sugar deposit if they moved out from the house, which showed to be two different ant-tribes, one in kitchen and another in living room. Amazingly, it worked extremely well – even I'm skeptic, I'm also open minded, but I can still get surprised – so I seriously think that your wife is on the right track...???????? Perhaps a method to consider for OP...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Orange can Chaindrite is good stuff, it Nucs ants. I sprayed it by the exit AC outside drainage pipe yesterday where i think they were coming in, sadly a gecko was hiding in there and ran out kamikaze style and jumped over the balcony to it's almost certain death, a sad day, blame the ants 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the food/water bowl in a slightly larger pan of water. Ants don't swim well. What works for me is cypermethrin powder. Check the label but it does degrade quickly. Search it and decide. It's cheap and readily available here. It's also effective mixed with water if used immediately. So easy to spray. Really does a number on the ants too.

So you never kill anything ? Including mosquitos ? And what about ticks ? Or termites which are eating away your furniture /doors / ...whatever wood ? Like i said , i respect all life , idc plant or animal , but i eat meat , wear leather , eat vegetables and also protect my home of invaders . Since signs do not work on some and taking a few out alive doesn't seem to help also , i show them the hard way . I not intrude in their house when its outside , they cannot intrude in my house . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
