Ant Invasion - What's my play? - BBV4Life -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

So, my bathroom is being overrun by ants. I noticed a couple this morning so I yelled at them and smacked this **** out of them (thus making "have you tried shouting/hitting it?" irrelevant).

Anyway, I come back home and these mother****ers are everywhere. Picked up the carcasses of their fallen and are literally everywhere. Shops are closed so I can't get any Raid or bugspray. I've sprayed some of the little *******s with deodrant, but there's just too many of them.

How do I pop a cap in these mofos for good?

I've just rubbed lemon all over their paths and at where I think they are coming in from. Let's see if that deters them.

Honey and Jam. Spread it everywhere. Ants hate Jam. It is known.

I accidentally happened upon this fix when I was a single guy years ago. Had ants, got drunk, ate some of a pizza, woke up the next morning and found ants swarming the pizza. Threw the pizza box outside and no more ants. Rinse and repeat a few years later.

Told another single guy this and he did the same thing except on purpose. He reported back the same results (peer reviewed imo).

eat some Taco Bell bean burritos, take a massive dump and the fumes will melt the ants.

Tums are ant acid. It will **** them up and they will get freaked out and leave.

I like the glue boards, but some people are sissy about it and don't want the ants to suffer if their little legs get stuck. But you must be prepared to kill them if you use glue boards. There's no catch and release with glue boards.

Mix the following:

1 part Borax (like 1-2 teaspoons)
~2 parts sugar (2-3 teaspoons)
enough water (a very small bit at a time) to make a thick slurry/paste

Spread the paste on little pieces of cardboard, and put these near where you see ants. You'll see them go nuts for the sugar. The next day, there shouldn't be any more ants. Basically, the ants carry the poison back to the nest, and it kills the whole colony.

We get ants in our kitchen around once a year, and this kills them off.

Where do I get borax from?

Also, if this were the 41st millenium, I'd expect you all to be saying "PURGE THE XENOS".

Such is life.

Rol aids work better. The ants will contract aids and die a horrible death. Gay ants will die first.

If it was an Alien Invasion I would know exactly what to do OP. With ants I'm at a loss though.

Eat them. Ants are a great source of protein.

Find out where the leak is in your bathroom. Ants need moisture to live. If you can get to a store find some good ant gel-baits. Not the crappie raid ones. Put the baits along your baseboards under sink...etc. They will take the bait back to the colony and you will destroy them all. Sorry if TLDR gl op.
