We have cleaned our kitchen top to bottom numerous times, we don't leave food out or crumbs. I have sprayed chemicals, but everyday, I will see a lone ant on the kitchen counter. I am at my wits end, racking my brain on what to do next. I have no idea where they are coming from or what they are eating. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I try those cheesy looking square ant traps?

I just had the problem at my house.

This stuff works great! In a day, my ant problem was gone

grants ant baits around the perimeter of the house work for me!

Have you tried Diatomaceous earth (buy at a swimming pool supply house) or Borax yet?

(I think I spelled that right!)

+1 on Terro, or if you prefer to make your concoction, dissolve 6 parts sugar/1 part boric acid powder in water and put it out in their path. Day 1, you will still lots of ants feeding on it. Day 2 ... still around, but fewer. Day 3 ... almost, if not all gone, as the workers have been bringing the poison back home and sharing it to all their fellow ants too.
