So our happy little home of 3 is no more, we have gotten ourselves some roommates. Not by choice though, these little guys came by their own doing. Our roommates are ants. They first appeared in the kitchen one day after it had been raining all night. Next they moved to the pantry. We found where they were coming from and closed up that hole. So they moved to the bathroom. We also closed up that hole. This process has continued for over a week now; waking up in the morning to find a new area with ants and trying to find where they are coming from. Tired from this, we told our landlord something needed to be done other than his "this is California for you" response. We recommended that he bring in an expert-he had just the person in mind, his real estate rep. He said that she had a 100% guaranteed method of getting rid of ants. So she came over Friday afternoon and told the ants to leave. No joke, that was the method, she said "shoo ants, time to go". And that was that.
Needless to say, the ants did not go. I woke up the next morning to find Michael trying to pick them up off the bathroom floor.
We still have our lovely little roommates and a very cheap landlord.

Seriously? She seriously said "shoo, ants"? Um... is your landlord nuts?
I think you should send the real estate rep to NYC. Maybe she could rid the entire city of roaches with a little coaching.
Oh, that is hilarious! Not your ant problem of course, but how would it be if all our problems would go away by saying shoo! Sorry about the little buggers. Hope it is solved soon. Luv you guys.

Okay, we've got your fix. Coming from Hawaii and Grenada, we know ants. And not aunts, like yo mama, but tiny sugar ants, big ugly ones, red ones that bite and hurt... all kinds. Home Depot sells this ant gel that comes in a black syringe tube- it's by the roach bait- and it works magic. You put the gel right in the tracks of ants and wherever you see them going into a wall or crack and with any luck they swarm the stuff after a couple hours and take it home to Queeny. It takes a couple days, but after that, never again will they be seen.
