Thanks. I have them in my kitchen and was about to use my shotgun.

I've never seen those small ants walk that fast. You must have marathon runners for ants.

Good job on the clear instructions and for showing results

You sound like the voice that says: one small step for man,a large leap for humanity

I get rid of these same type of ants in this video when I get them (not ever year, but about every 3-4 years) in my basement. I mix a sugar/borax/water solution and it does the trick. Follow their trail. Once you get to a point where they seem to no longer follow a linear trail, that's where you put the borax poison. Or if the trail ends at soe food they found, that's where you put the borax poison. The recipe is 2 parts sugar to 1 part borax. Mix well dry, then add water little by little, mixing in between water additions, until it's watery, not syrupy. Reason to add the water little by little is because you don't want to dilute it too much but you do want it watery. Just enough water to become liquid instead of a paste or syrup (the paste and syryp gets hard after 12 hours or so). The 2 parts sugar to 1 part borax ratio is important because if you put too much borax in it the ant will die before it gets back to the nest. The ants that go out for food go back to the nest, regurgitate some food for the other ants who do not leave the nest. So you want these feeder ants to live long enough to get back to the nest to feed the borax poison to the other rants. You'll see a lot of recipes online, but I find the 2 parts sugar to 1 part borax works well, at least for these types of small brown ants. Other types of ants may need a different recipe and some types of ants do not eat sugar so you may need to substitute sugar for whatever other food they are looking for. Of course, the Andro (and other brands) liquid poison baits you buy at the store also work well, but I always have borax on hand so I have no need to buy those anymore, but they do work. You have to kill the colony otherwise eventually the ants that do not leave the nest will become feeder ants and leave the nest to find food for the others, then you are back to square one. Must destroy the whole colony!

When ants come into your house Ants: GIV EM HELL BOIS

I'm taking care of my friends pets,my friend and her family are on a trip, but there house is really messy so I cleaned it and I found out they have a big ant problem. at least this video helped me get rid of a lot of them, so maybe for people that hate ants is to keep your house clean too so they won't try and come back again :) :P

Thanks for the advice. I got an ant costume at Party City and tried asking the ants where there nest was. They didn't respond.

Once I found the hole they were coming in, before I plugged it, I would have made a little platform out of cardboard and taped it near the hole and then started putting out some Terro and kept it refreshed till they quit coming. That way you could be certain you nailed the queen.

Now I know why I come home to loads of ants in my living room. I had a pack of sugar cubes sitting on top of table. The pack was covered but it was open so not sealed. The ants were all round underneath the table. I found ants nest (I hope) using your method and sealed up a space in the corner of my inside door. I am scared to put sugar down to see if it had worked incase I entice them out again. But suppose be best to do it.

Wow, they are literally all over my new apartment. I’m seeing them coming outta tiny holes in the baseboard of different corners. I sealed as much as I could. The group on your counter, I see on the kitchen floor like you said every couple hours. I’ve put poison and many things down and they continue to come.

Man anytime I get ants or roaches the videos always show these tiny ants or roaches. Down in the South the ants are as big as the digit in your thumb, and the roaches twice that.

I've been using a similar method but I use a cup with a little amount oj they go into the cup and are to sticky to get out I've caught lots of ants like this. how you figure out where they are coming from is pretty genius.

My mother and I have been dealing with these persistent little fellas ever since we relocated to her house four years ago. In the beginning, we've been sticking to the Terro ant gel baits/stakes as well as constant vinegar/soap spraying on their trails to curb them and so far it's worked. But every few months if the weather gets too hot and/or too dry, they just keep coming back from another access point (lol). Of course, we probably wouldn't be having this severe a problem if my mother was more diligent in moving stuff around the home to make it easier to patch up those spots where they keep coming in (and yeah, DON'T EVER LEAVE UNWASHED DISHES IN THE SINK!!!). Truth of the matter is, ants are crucial to the world's ecosystem so it's better to just "discourage" them from entering your home rather than trying to exterminate them outright. If anything, they're among the most efficient creatures I've ever come across. They even recycle their own dead, too! ;-)

Ant just crawled in my phone.

👍Now this is what I call a helpful video! Thank you sir! 😁

thank you for the blowing on them tip - I use that now.

Quick and to the point, I love it..thanks

THE LEMON PLEDGE SECRET placed in a light coating inside along ant pathways the ants travel has stopped ants altogether. When I learned that ants use scent travel paths, on a whim I tried the Lemon Pledge and it works. I also put it under the stove as our stove has legs as well as the toe kick at the bottom of the kitchen cabinets. I only wipe up where human steps are so it's not slippery. Also, I use the Borax (Terro is the hardware store version retail product) which works well if put about the outside perimeter of the house next to both side of doorways and every 20 feet. I put a fresh batch down at the early part of spring (Terro has plastic housed product and I stake these in place with a 8" stake made from a metal closet hanger). We have a dry laid bluestone patio so when we see ants popping up between cracks, we use the Terro immediately a few inches away from the entry point on both sides and this kills off the nest in a couple days.

I Did the same thing and I found out that they were living inside of my wall in a crack

Go to Lowe's , buy a tube of Bayer Max Force Ant Gel . Put it out where you simply see the ants . They will eat it and carry it back to the colony . The colony will be destroyed . Problem solved . Watch a video about Bayer Ant Gel . It works great . You can buy it at Lowe's .

I had like 4 of these in my carpet due to two Cheetos on my floor.. so I vacuumed them and I got the ants and nests. But then I checked my closet and saw a few loose one's going around. The ants I have though are about the size a few pieces of sand.

I became so invested in this video. 😂😂

I had ants for two summers. Never active in winter but every spring theyd pop up. It was hard to see them against my wood floor. They were never in the kitchen, only ever in my living room. Drove me bonkers. My mother and I were getting rid of a old coffee table and when we took the top off to move it, in the very center was what looked like a giant ball of them. Baseball sized. We were both floored. I had no idea they would just live in a pile with no burrow or solid hiding spot. It was nasty lol. I vaccumed them up in one go and haven't had a problem since.

THat trick about blowing on them I hadn't known.

Thank you. Very good informative video that actually elaborated on the technique to follow the ant trail.

Awesome. Thanks great video and your instructions were really goof

Me when no one is at home😂😂...Great Video🔥❤

You certainly rang the "dinner bell", luckily i found the nest without having to do that, but it was pure luck! Thanx so much, i would rather have any other insects than ants, they are smart plus they all have different job to do via orders from the queen, who usually does not come out, i heard sometimes maybe if she needs or wants a different mate, omg so gross, I also know at some point, there will be another colony, so I take eco friendly results, every day, thats how much I really don't want them to come back ever, wish me luck, cuz if I have to i will use your method, reluctantly, but your right!!!👍👍btw good job, your method , i can see does work!♥️

brilliant idea...will try this...

OMG thank you I needed this now I need to put this to the test

Great, simple video!

So tired of ants ending up on my bed, think they're on my clothes and then start biting me when I happen to be laying down and ugh

great video...ty

Thanks!! I have so many ants in my room!

Excellent!

Nice video thanks

very interesting

Thanks friend, got these darn fire ants in my house.

Thanks for the video! You mentioned following them to the outside. How did you accomplish that?

My Aunt had a colony of ants crawling out of the plug outlet they were even crawling under the bed me & my cousin had to move the bed out & thousands of them were in straight lines coming out of the outlet I never seen that much ants before ugh 😣😖🙁😕🤢🤢🤢

great video

He sounds like an austranaut

Thank you!

wow cool perfect for my ant farm 👍

Impressive! Wow, they sure seemed to panic when you blew on them... Would rather have watched you literally track them to the outside... splendid none the less. Thanks for sharing... Off to track & hunt... 🕵‍♀ p.s. What type of spray did you use?

Great video Thanks.

I have ants everywhere. Even in holes. Time to burn my house down

I always have ants in the sink.. EVERYTIME AND I HATE IT

I’ll try this, we have an ant problem and it started off near and in the bathroom, they managed to get to the kitchen.. I just have to convince my family to listen and try the idea, apparently just spraying the small trial of ants to them will kill them off for good.. Thank you again

Am I right in thinking that if you treat the ants now you can eradicate the colony before they grow wings and start flying around the house?

Thanks i just had a breakdown of screaming and stepping on ants they just didint stop coming but they come from under my bed i cannot see under there help me .

When you say spray them....spray them with what? Cotton ball just has sugar to attract to find trail is super cool. I liked how you showed results.

the ants are like retreat

What if the nest is somewhere you can't reach?

This guy is smart

I have a mega infestation. They crawl out of the woodwork man, so annoying

Thank you so much! Now winning!

Thank you

yea there in my room and I traced it back to a closet I can't get in since it's a broom closet, so I sprayed a round the top and bottom, is that okay?

I followed the ants back and ended up like Kurt Russel in Bone Tomahawk.

Thank you this was so helpful never had trouble with ants but my baby niece was eating a Lolly pop and she put the candy at the back of the living room table and I didn’t see it and now I cleaned the whole area but I saw a lot of little ants and now I have a big problem. I clean washed the whole living room and vacuum but they keep coming back so annoying! I’m trying to find where they are coming from but I have one question, how do I close or seal off the hole they are coming out of? Plz help I hate ants it makes me feel like I’m a dirty person!

Thanks 👍

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Thats cool and all if its just a trail, but for some reason the ants are in every room of my small apartment: the living room, bed room, kitchen, and bathroom. And they're here year round, but its the worst between late march-september. It stresses me out so bad but i cant afford an exterminator.

I wish you have shown the nest.. want to know what it looks like.

Thanks

Ugh a few are in my closet but nowhere else. There's no food in the closet. Driving me crazy trying to find how they're getting in.

is borax poisonous to humans? i dont want them consume it and die near food or something..

OMG THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE VOICE IN FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS THE ONE THAT KEEPS CALLING YOU

Do I just put the sugar clump our or do I have to get it a lil wet in the video u shared it looks glossy

Yeah, because I saw one in my room and there’s some in my kitchen and I honestly don’t know where is it coming from? Please help me.

hi have put some granulated sugar on my large outdoor balcony and they aren’t coming near to the sugar so added some honey on the top of it and still they aren’t interested, does this only work indoors? If so any suggestions for outside ants please. Many thanks.

I have them in my bedroom and there's carpet any tips to figure out what there going to or where there coming from

I've got a fire ant problem in my backyard. There's a huge colony out in this little clearing where my dogs like to go and I've already used bait for wiping out colonies, soap water, not much has worked. Any tips ?

Mine are outside on a big balcony. Just put sugar down. Can you please let me know what you spray them with. many thanks.

Yeah the ant problem in my house is getting bad

I can't do that just seeing one or two in my house gives me anxiety. I clean my drains twice a day with vinegar and baking soda then they are back again the next day. I live in a second floor condo.

I have medium size black ants in my gaming room, it’s not a lot, I’ll see like one or two every ten minutes. But they don’t stop coming and I have no clue where there coming from because on is on one wall and another is on the other. Anybody have advice?

When you find their nest what did you do,what you spray on them canyou tell me😊😊🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️please I have red ants in my home ,when they bite its hurt too much ,i don't what should i spray on them

High quality. Relief from instructions using gargled words that cannot be understood. Wannabe and actual salesmen, politicians and lawyers.

What do you spray with, and what if I’ve found them both in my kitchen, and living room? Thanks!

I believe I have tons of tiny tiny ants that live in my carpets.the carpet that's connected to my kitchen flooring.idk how to get rid of them bc they r in carpet that's very old n thick. N the vacuum isn't really strong enough to duck them out of the carpet? Help n also anyone else have this same problem I do

Clever

What did you use to spray the nest

What spray did you use?

. Thank you.

Buy Borax mix with honey

Theres a lot under our table

What did you spray the nest with?

What spray did you use

what did you spray it with? and did you spray it into the hole? the ants are crawling in between the cracks of my table 😭🤮

what did you spray them with?

I ❤️ ants

That's similar to the way I found a few honeybee hives.

LOL trying to watch the vid then sees a ant on my ipad.......

I am finding ants going in the freezer. Most of the food is sealed and they just freeze to death. What can I do

Dude how tall are you

Bros sound is a robot

just use ant gel
