While I was away on vacation a bunch of ants moved into my room! What are some effective ways of getting rid of them without having to use comercial sprays or other chemical products? This isn’t to say I’m opposed to killing them, just don’t want all the nasty chemicals in my bedroom.

    Okay pay attention to this message. It will sound wierd but it works 100% affective.

    What you have to do it:
    1. Buy a bottle of dish soap
    2. apply to the area that the ants are coming into

    ants cant climb over or through dish soap
    i put some outside my bedroom window and it worked

    or if they are coming threw a hole put super glue or hot glue in the hole

    ant baits will be the mildest and probably most effective treatment you can do..many more times less toxic than boric acid dust sprinkled around. It can be a guessing game though some times figuring which bait they will feed on to be effective.

    Boric acid (can’t eat it, but it’s not super toxic) or lemon juice.
