and there's like a million tiny ant looking things on the floor by my closet in the foyer! WTF?! there's no food down there, and never has been... and all of a sudden there's a million ants on my floor!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!

I need some raid y0

TurboMirage · 01-31-2007, 08:38 AM

stomp those shits y0!

Ants aren't just attracted to what you consider food. They are prolly moving their nest to another location.

Come back in a few hours, they won't go anywhere they already arent. They'll prolly be done by then.

Turbo&Auto · 01-31-2007, 08:45 AM

Spray around the foundation with some insect repellant. We do this every spring, no ants or other lil critters.

the joys of living in a condo
you have some dirty neighbors huh?

Celerity · 01-31-2007, 08:55 AM

I have Korean and Vietnamese people upstairs. You can't scare me.

pissedoffsol · 01-31-2007, 09:13 AM

the neighbors to my left are chineese i think... and to my right, they are middle eastern of some sort... but, they are "american" more or less. probably born here.

i should go take a pic...

Celerity · 01-31-2007, 09:15 AM

you're screwed. You have roaches.

pissedoffsol · 01-31-2007, 09:18 AM

looks like i'll be throwing out two pairs of sneakers that i never wear anyway....

Celerity · 01-31-2007, 09:21 AM

my god, you're such a candy ass !

reikoshea · 01-31-2007, 09:34 AM

looks like there was beer or piss where the ants were......could be a combination of the two. The grout is off colored where the ants are. Get a mop biatch.

reckedracing · 01-31-2007, 09:40 AM

looks like someone spilled soda or something

ants stole my kswiss

pissedoffsol · 01-31-2007, 09:53 AM

the tile is old, and the grout is probably original too. it was like that when i moved in. and i've mopped the area many times since.

chestercheeto48 · 01-31-2007, 10:01 AM

just get some spray ant killer and call it a day. Its not like they are poodle sized roaches or anything.

Celerity · 01-31-2007, 10:04 AM

this is B we're talking about, he'll have to hire someone to come out, while he books his vacation out of country.

reckedracing · 01-31-2007, 10:15 AM

or he'll try to use the ant spray and somehow cause the tile to lift and the grout will turn to dust and then the condo explodes

reikoshea · 01-31-2007, 10:16 AM

I tend to agree with recked on this one....B, just sell the place while youre ahead.

You think ants are bad you try box elder bugs, pincher bugs or the japanese beetles we get here every fall in Wisconsin. You will find them everywhere and there is really nothing you can do about it. At lease with ants you can cut off their scent trails that they leave and you will cure 90% of the problem. By the way I am with the rest of the crew that thinks something was spilled there at one point maybe not by you or it could even have been tracked in.

Celerity · 01-31-2007, 10:27 AM

my friend in NZ has those little wingless wasps (Like the ants in the grand canyon) that send people to the hospital in critical care.

Jumpers, Jack jumpers. Those are them. I would move, if those were near me.

chestercheeto48 · 01-31-2007, 10:29 AM

yeah those sound like fun.....

Silverchild79 · 01-31-2007, 10:42 AM

go buy a big bag of ant killer, buy the stuff that says "avoid contact with skin" (that shit's the best). Check the weather channel and find a time maybe 30 min before a good rainstorm. Apply to all earth areas around condo building at 3 times the suggested amount. Rain carries poison deep into ground.

I killed off an ant problem that way, also scored massive amounts of homemade cookies from thankful neighbors
