any advice on getting rid of these huge fuckers? about a cm long. i’ve had success with bayer ant bait in the past and got bayer 10072 max force. i started applying it about a week ago inside where i’ve seen them. i found a big line outside my house as well and smeared bait next to their line.
i thought i got rid of them honestly because i’ve seen less of their numbers to not seeing them at all. except today i go in my kitchen and see not one but three of the fuckers. i just applied more bait and have gone through my first tube.
does this shit just take a long time to nuke the colony or should i do something different?

Terro liquid ant bait traps, fuckers love it and will take it back to the queen

Always worked for me
If they're huge just get the liquid in a tube and put it on a piece of cardboard.

That bait is attractive to ants. You might be attracting another colony nearby that isn't dead yet.

order a gallon of Talstar P on amazon and follow the directions on the label

You need to re-caulk everything, insects getting inside your home means there's a breach somewhere and you risk nests being built inside your walls. Poison will kill the intruders but it won't be very effective if there's 1,000 ants marching in on a daily basis.

Yeah look around for wet wood and saw dust. If they are nesting in your home it's probably because they found damp wood which they like.

>>2617373
ignore them, they're small and not bothering anything important.

Challenge their alpha to a mano a mano death match.

no. i will not. i’m about to break down and hire the local dale gribble. i am tired of these ants. i’ve started to develop a sense of joy when i feel their bodies pop between my fingers. i don’t like this new development in me. i want to genocide this ant colony

>>2622636
Carpenter ant plz go

>>2617373
Ants are supposed to hate yarrow. It’s a weed, so you can find it anywhere. In addition to black and poison like >>2617481 said, get a hand pump sprayer, make a concentrated yarrow tea, and spray that shit along all the corners and wall/floor edges.
