It must be Spring coming!! Just saw my first sugar ant. What can I do to get rid of them? (or at least discourage them.)

Someone told me salt once. Spread it in a line where you see the ants.
I had a ton of ants last year around this time. I used a house pesticide that you could use indoor or outdoor. Thanks for reminding me to spray now before they come in.

If you live on a slab home, they will come. ... Spray around the outside ground perimeter of your house.
But I like River's method, too..

There is an ant killer called "Terro", which is available at Home Depot and other hardware stores.
It works great and will get rid of your ants within two days. You place a drop of it on some cardboard, place it where the ants are and they will eat the stuff and take it back to their hill for others to eat. gmi |

we try to avoid pesticides because of their adverse effect on neurological conditions, so I was delighted to find that a tip to sprinkle cinnamon seems to keep them away.
I buy large tubs of the Badia brand of ground cinnamon as less expensive than others, and I liberally sprinkle around the outside and also inside where I find ants. I also sprinkle the pantry etc I also sprinkle some clove sticks as I was told that works as well seems to keep all ants away and smells good too
