Waterwings
Well-known member
With all the rain we've had, a group of small ants (I've always called them piss-ants) decided to visit our house. This is the first time in the 13 yrs we've lived here that we've had this problem. There have been a few ants on the kitchen counter near the sink, and all I can figure is they entered the house around the holes where the water supply lines come up from under the house (gonna caulk around them now). We tried the insect spray and the ant bait traps. I watched the ants enter the traps and then come out : . So, my wife got on-line and looked at home remedies. She found one that called for using Apple Cider Vinegar, so she tried it yesterday. She put it in a spray bottle and sprayed the affected areas........................no ants now! Apparently it repels them and kills them if they get in it. The smell of the vinagar dissipates after awhile, and on the plus side, it's better than smelling the insect spray.
