HELP!!!!! There little black ants everywhere in my home. I have tried everything that I can think of to keep them away: sprayed Ortho Home Defense around the perimiter of my home several times, never leave dishes in the sink, always clean up any spills (I have a two year old so there are a lot,) take out garbage daily and keep it away from the house, put out ant traps, baits they are supposed to take back with them and kill the colony, followed trails and pluged every crack and hole they could come in, trimed tree branches so they dont hang over the roof, keep all food in airtight containers. There are constantly a few lookers around EVERYWHERE and if the smallest crumb gets overlooked there are hundreds of ants swarming within minnuets. Because of the two year old and a pregnant wife I dont want to spray poison inside the house. This is driving me crazy. Short of burning the house down are there any suggestions?
