Anyone ever have an ant problem?
I saw a couple of ants in DS room. What can I do to get rid of them? Of all the rooms to be in they have to be in his? My guess is they are coming from the tenants kitchen. His bedroom is above her kitchen.

Re: Anyone ever have an ant problem?
we had an ant problem in his bedroom last year. We sprayed with raid ( when he wasnt in there for a while) and used traps- it worked well.

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.

It's safe to use these? Where do I get them?

Safe to use. I used them when I was pregnant & Joseph was a toddler.

I'm sure Home Depot has them.

That usually means that you have rotting wood somewhere on your property. Check for old tree stumps & in the structure of your house. The worry with carpenter ants build their nest in the structure.
Terro also works on them.
