a match and gasoline works well, I like to watch them burn. unfortunately I've lost 5 houses because of it.  I think I'll look for another method

@stockkim1 Hey...IDK if you ever got your snt problem under control but you have carpenter ants hun! They are coming out of the wall....that means you must have a little colony living in that wall or somewhere in the house! I would suggest you get a good company in NJ to take care of it or my company can if you need us Champion in NJ..leave me a msg on here...thx!

@stockkim1 that is really dangerous and could cause a fire.... please use caution!!!peace!!!!!

@Wa133D95 hey wa133d95 there is a way to deter them from your house altogether, it may seem a little silly but it really works.... ants like things that are rotten and they like things that are sweet... if you get hamburger meat and honey and pull tiny pieces and make a trail out away from your house they will leave your property you can make a trail across the street or out to the woods ... i hope that helps a little, i just don't like killing things, thats all! peace!!!!

my dad found a white paste in the dish washer, the ants where nesting... IN OUR DISH WASHER. He estimated 10,000 baby ants!!!!

Get yourself some Terro baits and your ant problem will be a thing of the past.

Hello Mark, i have black ants about this big *******

I will take your advice. They are coming out my electrical plugs

so I will take apart the ant trap and drop it in side the plate because

it is not doing any good sitting on the counter.
