I think I've asked this before (but can't find it easily)…

how do you get rid of those tiny brown "grease" ants?

Thanks!

If it's what I am thinking of, those little devils are a pain as they can seem to get through any crack in a house.

Heat up some kind of cooking oil/grease, mix in as much Borax as it will dissolve, place it in a shallow cap where they are running. They will take it back to the nest and wipe it out.
Same thing with sugar water for sweet ants.

Tempo. Mix up a small batch and spray, ants take it back to the nest. Lasts for weeks and doesn't harm kids or pets.

Termidor. Works on all ants, can get rid of carpenter ants without locating the nest. Small ants in a house or yard are usually gone completely in a few days. Can purchase it from Amazon.

Termidor is not labeled for interior use. Just because you can purchase professional use insecticides you should become very familiar with their use, restrictions and personal safety of their use. Your protection and potential "contamination/run off into drains and of water courses" should be noted prior to use. Termidor has a long residual life and should not be used without proper training in its use.

Which Tempo acts like a bait? I'm not aware of one that ants bring back to their nest.


Agree with Bob. Be very careful with pesticides.
