Is anyone else getting invaded!?

I guess all this rain is causing the little black ants here to look for higher ground and they have invaded my home.

I've been battling these little bastards for several days now.

Same here. The rain sure is driving them inside.

Had the same problem here in Mustang until I sprayed with Ortho Home Defender....now no more ants or any other critters for that matter

This stuff works! Put a drop or two on a piece of cardboard and let 'em chow down. DO NOT kill any of them while they are eating the bait, they will take it back to the nest and it will do them all in. Don't bother with the pre-baited ant traps of the same brand name; this DIY stuff works much better. I get it at Ace Hardware.

Terro is the right stuff. We have been having them like so many others. They show up in strange places, like our mailbox!
:D

My mailbox was totally full of them the other day... first response was to just hose the inside with OFF... that pretty much killed them all... i added the Terro into the back for the stragglers
