That is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I spray it all around the foundation outside.

DH put baking soda and cinnamon near the entry ways and it worked. It's a little messy but I havent see ants in weeks.

hmm...baking soda and cinnamon?? i can see them not being fond of baking soda, but I would tend to think that they'd be attracted to the sweetness of the cinnamon..Chat Icon

I think DH said the smell keeps them away. He found the quick remedy after doing a search on Google.

I've heard both spirnkling cayenne pepper works and dryer sheets. I tried the dryer sheet thing in my apt (it was ground floor) and I stuck them under the edge of the carpet.

I also sprayed Lysol along the window sill and and perimeter of the room in which I saw them....never saw them again
