RE: How about ants in house?

[Guest guest]

Hi Akiko,

 

When I lived in NYC we had an ant problem, and although I had mint

growing outside they'd always come in. No matter what I did they'd

always come back. Turned out the ants' nest was in the ceiling above the

kitchen and below the shower pan (upstairs bathroom was above the

kitchen). Anyway .. only thing that seemed to control them at all (until

we discovered they were in the ceiling and removed the huge nest) was

those little Combat discs. Not all natural, but not a dangerous spray

either, and pretty darn effective ...

 

Good luck!

I have another problem. I have an army of ants invading our

bathroom. My husband tried citronella and peppermint, but didn't

work. They just avoid it and keep going. Any suggestions?

I had troubles with ants a few years back. I found the place where they were

coming in....marching in a continuous line!!! Like little soldiers. I shook

cinnamon powder across the line where they were coming in and they stayed out

after that. Worked like a charm.

I have heard that ants will not cross a chalk line so would it be good to

mix chalk and cinnamon and place it by the baseboards?????
