Ant Problem, Posting here - more traffic
So I realized tonight we have a carpenter ant problem. Anyone else? How do you handle it? DH is away on business, he usually deals with the bugs.
My skin is creepy crawly right now because all I can think of are those carpenter ants roaming around my hallway and kitchen.
Do we need an exterminator or should I just buy a can of Raid?
I hate bugs! 
I swear, Real Estate Agents should hand new homeowners a manual when you buy a house!

I would call an exterminator. We usually get ants in the summer. We tried everything and nothing worked until we contacted an exterminator.

Def call the exterminator. It's the only way to really get rid of them. Good luck.

Terro Traps! You need to kill the nest. You can get them at the hardware store. They've worked everythimg I've used them. YOu need to have some tolerance for a swarm of ants that will eat the poison & bring it back to the nest kiling the rest of the colony. You CAN'T kill the swarm because they need to feed the queen, etc.
Sometimes an exterminator will use something will cause them to move the nest - in which case you get a reprieve but still an ant problem.

Thank you!!!
I have no tolerance for bugs and I think the ants know it that's why they waited for DH to go away to come out!
