Question: A friend of mine has little brown ants in a section of the kitchen. They crawl on the countertop, wall and are probably in a cabinet as well. So far, they seem to be in one area. Can anything be done other than calling an exterminator?
Answer: I had ants in one apartment and they were in the kitchen and one bathroom. The exterminator said that they were water ants, or they were looking for water or something along those lines. This was over 10 years ago so I’ve forgotten.
We call them grease or sugar ants. There are ant traps.Make sure you really clean the area well with hot soapy water. The ants tend to follow a scent trail. Put out little ant traps. LOL. Seriously. If they are not infested with them, ant traps may do it. I get those teeny ants in the spring; they like to get in the cat’s food dish, but usually I just set out a few traps and that does it. I hope their solution is that simple. Put out little ant traps. LOL. Seriously. If they are not infested with them, ant traps may do it.
