ahhhhh ANTS!!!!
ok I can't figure it out. All food in my house is sealed & put away but under one window a stream of ants is coming in. There is a heater under the window but it is off. Any thing attract ants other than food that I might be missing? & any good ways to keep them out?

Maybe ant boxes? I tried those before, but they didnt work for me. An older lady told me to place 2 copper pennies by the door, i did that because i was desperate, and it worked. Also heard, sprinkling flower helps.

Liquid Chlorine Bleach will kill ants quicker than any poison I've tried. I mix it half and half with water in a spray bottle and let 'em have it. It not only kills the ants you see, it discourages those coming behind from coming in.
It's a very cheap fix!

Traci , every Spring I get carpenter ants and it annoys the heck of me. They come from outside and I see them in my kitchen. I have had the exterminator come and that has helped but I will try want Tink suggested if I see them soon...
