    There’s zero reason to hate ants? What a lame comment.

      They won’t stay out of my fucking kitchen so I hate them too. Seriously never had this bad of a problem until this house, I too would like to know how to weaponize circle pits in my kitchen.

      If they could read the “no ants allowed” sign we’d be alright, they’re free to live their lives, until they become home invaders, then I have to defend myself.

        I mean, to be real, they were there first and are the most abundant terrestrial creature in the planet.

        Joking aside, ants go where there are reasons to go; food, security, and refuge. You can use a natural insecticide, lemongrass, to repel them. Hotshot was a product I used in the past to spray around windows and doors. It’s safe for pets and children after it has time to dry. Not sure what you’ve tried, but that has worked for me.

          The only thing that actually worked for me so far was Terro traps, but in this house unlike my previous residences they just. Keep. Coming. There must be some kinda supercolony under this neighborhood or something. Maybe Antman’s lair.

      Have you had ants setup shop in your coffee maker before, or you cereal? Ants that follow you to work in your butt crack somehow? Lucky you.
