Is there any Way To Keep ant Out of My Rooom Without...
 
Killing them?

its dec you should watch out for.

sprinkle salt near where they come in. it's toxic to ants, and if one gets killed then the rest figure out not to go near.

sweep your filthy floor, and clear all your doritos & leftover macdonalds bags :p :D

if they have nothing to eat, they'll stay the fuck out.

also, they dislike mint. people recommend planting mint on your garden to control ants. in an urban scenario, maybe a thin application of tootpaste on the ground, as a border?

True, he's small, so he can get into little spaces so you can't force him out.

Some insecticides put up a barrier. Ants don't cross the line that's sprayed, therefore won't come into your house.

I wouldn't worry about them. Ants are incredibly hygenic, and are the least problematic insect you're ever likely to find wandering through your house.

They don't carry diseases, largely because they are constantly grooming themselves, unlike flies for example, which carry whatever they've just walked on (usually faeces) and deposit it on the next thing they walk on (your dinner).

threaten them.

gmku 06.22.2007 03:25 PM

Actually some can sting and bite, and you don't want them in your sugar bowl or cereal boxes.

baby powder will keep them away too, without killing them. they just don't like it.

I've got a growing centipede problem. They've not made their way into the house yet, but they are everywhere outside. They're ugly too.

get a couple of chickens running about your yard. they should eat them in no time AND fertilize your garden :D

just get some powder.. borlax or something powder.. and spread it around theroom.. that's the only thing i know that always works.. bugs suck.

!@#$%! 06.22.2007 05:31 PM

but really, synth, clean the food crumbs off your filthy room.

alternatively, you could let the ants do the job for you, and you could tip them in the end. they'll kiss your hands and call you my liege.

You need to infiltrate their stronghold ninja style and assassinate the queen. After that, their society crumbles with political strife and infighting. They take sides and kill each other while trying to sieze power.

Hey, that's a lot like Iraq really! Only... with ants.

!@#$%! my room is clean, it doesn't have any foods in there, I have no food in there whatsoever.

stop being indie and kill things!

 

StevOK 06.23.2007 12:31 AM

I've heard toothpaste works, because they don't like mint.

no way, their shit is waaay too strong, it ruins everything after a while.. and you can't walk around barefoot anymore unless you want to pick it from between your toes every time.

saoq 06.23.2007 07:22 AM

same pr0blem here. for so many years i usd to have cockroaches, no they're gone, and boom, ants.
i wake up everymorning and i find ants in my sugar-vase. its' awful. you cant beat them. i just kill around 20 or so per day cos i figured that way the ant-colony will diminish sooner or later. i'll try salt water though. oh and I live on fuckin 8th floor! maybe i'll get a spider or smth.

Snort a line of them.
