question on ants

We've got ants in the apt bad in carpet. Was wondering if ant spray can make carpet change color?

 

Get some Borax powder at your hardware store, non-toxic and inexpensive, or some ant powder, perhaps toxic. Liquids can always leave a stain, maybe try it in a corner somewhere first?

 

lol Carpets already a little colored from old age. And we rent. But landlord claims its new carpet(lie). But Iam sure I could find something to try it on.. So mad cause had it handled woke up today ant army in 2 rooms. So bad you can see hundreds walking in lines.

 

Ya, bait them where they come in and they'll happily feed their queen some borax if it's in a sugar solution. Lines of ants like that sure are disturbing!.

 

Ill try it. At this moment only got few things to use. Got to wait till get my money tomarrow to go buy stuff I get told to try. But yeah ant army under my chair atm pretty disturbing. GF "never thinks things get bad" we had few ants and havnt seen any for 2 days. Now hundreds all over. I don't understand I thought they went for food/sugar. Few in trash but so many for what reason? :-D I also maybe think its "new neighbors down the hall" just moved in "when ants" just moved in

 

The few that you initially saw are scouts and if they found a food source then they call in the army. Where are they going?

 

Dont know they just hanging around at this moment. I just vacumed good 2 days ago to get ants up seen 3 ants didnt catch any. Now hundreds this morning.

 

Ya, you only have to miss one scout before the army is called. Check your pantry too if you've got sugar there. Anyways, it should be the landlord's job to get rid of them. Give him heck!

 

Thing is there not towards area there in carpet away from food! Cept a trash can with nothing in it cept tissues. And there in bedroom and closets full of items/clothing.

 

Landlord pretty bad on "his ways" and yeah it be something to try but were up on higher floor and never had ants. So just weird they came when neighbors in the floor got here.

 

Is there things you can look for in ant spray that dyes carpet?

 

All I got at the moment is Raid 2 pk kills ant and roachs.

 

I had a major problem with ants, solved it by drizzling Paraffin/Kerosene against the wall around the outside of my house. The Paraffin/Kerosene poisons the ground, ants won’t cross it, and it also kills off weeds. A word of warning though don’t smoke near it for a few hours or so or your problem could be a lot wore than a few ants

 

Your landlord needs a beating if he lets this sort of thing continue, in my opinion... but if he won't help, the best thing you can do after trying to kill them all (if you have pets, check the warning labels on the cans!) is to put bait and sugary things where you want them to go, outside your apartment.

I suggest the landlord's office. :innocent
