Post Tiny Sweet Grease Eating Ants

Thanx Tony ;

A while ago my Sweet had a serious ant problem , we recently had more rain that usual and this tends ti drive ants indoors in the Desert, one again we had this serious issue of millions of tiny ants all over the house, mostly in the kitchen .

Sometimes the teenage foster boys don't properly wash a dish or simply rnse it and put it in the dish rack .

This time the ants mostly invaded two shelves on two different cabinets, the drinking cups and the eating plates .

I had to take every ting out of the cabinets and wash them then wash every single item and while i was at it I cleared the granite countertops and washed them too, set the fans going to dry everything and when dry set out some of those little round black plastic ant baits .

I've tried tem before and the ants always walked around them ~ this time they're making beelines to the bait traps, going inside then streaming back out again going down to where their nest is I hope .

I decided to put one bait trap on the bedroom windowsill (no ants there) and within an hour or two I discovered a dead straight line of ants coming out of the electric outlet directly below it, same deal : no wavering nor lookng for other food elsewhere, they o it, pick up some bait and hustle it back to the nest....
