Ants in Pantry

[Nomsie]

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!

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.
