You know those tiny little black ants? I think sometimes they are referred to as sugar ants...? They are invading my panty, and driving me insane!

I have tried ant rid, closing all half eaten foods to the umpteenth degree... I just don't know what else I can do to get rid of them!

I know they are more prevalent during the warmer months, please do not tell me it is just something I have to accept! :laughing::mad:

Does anyone have any solutions to this?

Get some peppermint oil and wipe your benches over and your cupboards they dont like it :) (mice done either)

Ants also wont walk through talcum powder to try that and some peppermint oil where they are coming in

We have ants twice in the past 7 years. We used this product especially for ridding ants (ant rid?). ONly needed a very small amount (it comes in a very small bottle) and it was sticky, if i remember correctly....like honey...i think...in appearance and texture?

I through the bottle out... just before I was pregnant when i did a clean out (i don't remember why....expiry date maybe).

Though it would be nice to use something natural.
I don't know if the 'Ant rid' is natural.
