i had some ants building a nest and ive vacummed most of them up how do i get rid of the ones i cant see

 

bug bombs.... about 2 should do it leave it over night then let it air out for a day or 2 then vacuum and get some carpet cleaner lol

 

i wish i had that kind of time unfortunatly its my dd

 

Buy an ant-eater (aardvark)? That, or call the Orkin Man. Sorry, I couldn't resist...

 

lol im just killing them as i see them theve dwindled quite a bit

 

First thing, clean out your truck. Make sure there are no candy wrappers, etc. Then put out some ant killer. That gel-like stuff works great. Should take care of the rest of the ants and you won't have to park the truck.

 

Borax dusted into the carpet should help a lot. Once the ants are gone you can just vacuum it back up. It's not so safe that you can go eating it but there's a lot worse stuff you could be using.

 

Believe it or not, but baby powder works wonders.
They won't cross it, so if you sprinkle it all over inside the truck, they'll leave.

 

Raid............Kills bugs dead!

 

Make them pitch in for gas. Cheap little basturds will be out in no time. Unless their fire-ants, then they get all stingy.

 

^ QFT!


Home defense works wonders. I have seen that stuff kill scorpions. :|

And yes, bug bombs is another good idea.

 

they got stingy im gonna try the baby powder thing put it where they were trying to build a nest and i dont have carpet ive got the plastic like stuff its an xl

 

Go to a garden supply store and get some diatomaceous earth (DE). It is a non-toxic powder and you can sprinkle it around the truck. The tiny crystals will cut up the ants exoskeleton and dry out their insides.

You can also mix up some orange oil and water and it will kill the ones that are still crawling after the DE. You can get the orange oil at some of the garden centers also.

Due to chemical sensitivities, I can't use the stuff you pick up at the home centers.
The natural products I've mentioned have really worked well for me.

 

Diotomaceous earth should also be readily avaliable at any swimming pool supply place. Many pool filters use this as a filtering agent as opposed to sand in some models.

 

x2 on this! Ants, and a lot of other bugs including roaches, rats and mice hate borax. You can find a big box for cheap in the laundry aisle. I use borax around the house and outdoors. I keeps the ants away.
