Re: Little Ants

ugh when we 1st moved in our house we had tons of ants they were coming out of the ground and getting into the house underneath the siding. It was horrible. They turned out to be odorous ants (small ants) and they were a real b i t c h to get rid of.

We had to spray several times and have baits put down around the foundation of the house. Thankfully they finally went away. But I'd keep my eye out and if they get any worse get an exterminator.

Good Luck.

Re: Little Ants

My DH just said to just get an exterminator. With the baby he doesn't want to take any chances.


Anyone know any??????

I would first try to get rid of them yourself before you invest in an exterminator.

I think if you keep the door shut and almost quareteen the room for a couple of days you should be fine.

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

I have gross little brown ones- in the kitchen, bathroom and by my computer at home

I have sprayed about 5 times and they seem to be gone now

they even got into the coffee maker- it's a single serve and it has a water tank- it was so gross

I felt bad for Jake- b/c I don't drink coffee

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

you could just "bomb" the house ...take the baby out for the day and when you come home open all the windows...

if they come back then call Terminix...my parents used them when we had ants in our house

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

We called Terminex - just waiting for an appt

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

We used Suburbun Exterminator for work. They came once a month. We had terrible ant problems and my boss (the landlord) didnt want to fix the problem so instead we sprayed. The estimate is free and once they tell you what is going you may be able to fix the problem once you get rid of what you currently have.

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

We used Suburban too and actually have a contract with them. They spray four times per year, and any time you have a problem you call and they come and fix it, no charge. We've had several guys come and Anthony was the best. We couldn't find how the ants were getting in the house but he figured it out, and he explains everything to you too. Good luck!

Re: Little Ants --Need recommendation for exterminator

We had those little ants - Last week they were all over the kitchen and in the bathroom - We called Terminix, because we already have a contract with them for the termites. They came on saturday, did the treatment and we havent seen an ant since
