How do I get rid of ants?
-Call the housing office and have them spray for ants. I have a 1 yr old and opted for the organic nonpestivide one they have. I had to leave for 3 hours and there was no smell when I came home. They can spray in and/or outside once a month but you have to sign a paper giving them permission. If they can, have them spray in the walls as well.
-Spray vinegar on your windows and door jams.
-Put baby powder on your baseboards and window sills
-Spray ortho home defense max outside.
