It seems that no matter where I live, I have ants somewhere in my house during the summer.  This is my fourth summer here and the ants have offically moved in.  They only live on one of the 4 counter spaces in the kitchen.  They never bother the dog food and only occassionally migrate one counter over to the cat food.  They just walk from one window, across the counter, and to the kitchen sink.  It doesn't matter if the sink is perfectly clean and bleached, they still swarm the sink.  Funny thing is that they walk in a perfect line to the sink and don't stray around the counter top much.  Anyway, there are just as many ants in the sink whether there are dishes or not in there.

 

So as part of what has become an annual plea - any ideas on what to do with my ant problem?  I've tried most everything on the market, but am open to any idea.  I absolutely HATE ants!

Thanks!  At least ants are the only bug problems I ever have - No roaches, fleas, etc. etc. etc.

ah.  We're in the city, so we have mice and cockroaches along with the ants and the occasional spider, but since we've had Freddie I haven't seen one of anything.

I've had ant problems my entire adult life - but never had problems with any other pest.  I'd freak if I had roaches.

Re: Looking for the Perfect Solution...
the first time I saw a cockroach I was unpacking my linen closet - it was probably 9 years ago - and one crawled across the hallway floor which I was sitting on.  I screamed and Sadao came rushing upstairs - 'IT'S A COCKROACH!" I yelled (at this point I was on top of the dresser).  He said "Yeah, but why did you scream - was there a rat chasing it?"

"A WHAT????!"   I screamed at him.  

haha    Of course now I'm much more mellow.  I stomp on cockroaches and if I see a mouse I usually only run to a chair instead of on top of the furniture.

If I had roaches pest control would be my house daily until I knew they were completely gone.  I tend not to have mice problems - that's what you get with 5 cats and 2 dogs.  I never have fleas because all the babies wear Frontline.  And so that just leaves me with ants...

Freddie takes care of my pest problems now.    It was one of the selling points in letting us keep him.
