Thread: I've got ants in my pants

    I've got ants in my pants

    And by pants... I mean room.

    How the fuck do I get rid of them? Its bugging me to hell, and I dont know where they are coming from !!!!!

    These ants group, and they have a CHeal order, and a main tank I swear to god. And just then I saw an ant CARRYING A DEAD ANT back to their lair or something. SO NOW THE ANTS CAN RES TOO!

    WTF!?

    Help me

    I think Serendib must've spent all day clearing Plane of Growth.

    It does strange things to a person.

    Try spreading baking soda on their path or the surface you want them to stay off of. Or, put some vinegar+water in a sprayer and do the same.

    There's also dichotomous earth, which is harder to find, but natural.

    And then there's the nasty chemical insecticides, which suck.

    Removing ants.

    Had the same problem a while back, this is what I did:
    +I used Borax, it's a chemical powder relatively easy to obtain, I think most hardware or pharmaceuticals carry it.
    +Bought some mint jelly. Not sure if the ants like mint or what, but it seemed to work pretty well.
    + Package of saltines.

    Mix the jelly and the Borax together till you've got a decently thick mixture, then place it on the cracker and put it in a corner or somewhere that won't get disturbed by anyone but the ants.

    Hopefully, they'll end up taking the paste back to the nest as 'food', and killing their compadres and themselves.

    Always listen to a guy who puts Tenacious D lyrics in his sig...

    Borax works.. Boric Acid works better.. It's a powder that you can find in most drug stores.

    Mix the left-over Borax with glue to make silly puddy. Then sniff the left-over glue so the silly puddy seems fun to play with.
