I was gonna make a whole long thing but it seems to have tapered off for now. Now my question is how do I keep them out? I found the crack they were coming through so tomorrow I'm going to seal it up but for now it's open, I hear cinnamon burns their feet and keeps them at bay, what do you escapists think? What can I use to keep them out of my room?

masking tape, sellotape Duct tape, tapeworms!. scrunched up newspaper, Polyfill, a sock, use your imagination, I'm sure a lot of things would do, although it depends on the size of the crack.

Lie down on the ground and accept your fate as they swarm over and inside of your body devouring and collecting your flesh.
Long live the Queen! The Colony will live on!

Fire!

But if you value your possessions there is a poison you can get. Just a few drops and the nest size will reduce dramatically.
My house is infested with black ants, but the poison keeps the numbers down.

Or fire!

Ant traps?

Also, don't try to shoot them. They have acid blood, and will dissolve you floors if you do.
And build a solid barricade, too.
Show them you mean business!

That's the spirit.

Is this powder flammable?

And if that fails. Boiling water down the nest works wonders.
My mates and I use that technique when there some selfish ant at a good campsite.

You could try driving them out by playing Friday over and over again. You could also try bombing your house with chemicals forcing them to die a slow agonizing death, this of course be the most moral of the two.

What's with all the ant-hate all of a sudden...

I've got a synthetic pheromone that makes them assault each other for the food their nestmates carry if you'd care for it.

Would you care to be my lab assistant for a while? I'm dealing with some Pharoah's ants at the moment and they're voracious critters.

Poison, and maybe some expanding caulking to close the crack.

Honeslty, this is why I let two spiders peacefully exist in my room. One in te top corner of my room, the other int he opposite bottom corner. catches every insect, and they dont bother me.

in fact, tehy're something like pets, cause tehy'll usually crawl close to me and just sorta sit there till I move before they bolt to their webs.

I am not going to name the product, but it has a sweet syrupy liquid with borax in it. The way it supposed to work is the ants eat it and pheromone their mates to join in and then bring it back to the colony en mass. The first two seem to happen but I am not sure about the third. They seemed to all suicide in the syrupy goodness of death. You can get this product in traps or in pure liquid form in tubes. Do not feel bad...ants are the number one pest in the US and they have millions of years of evolution on us.

I had some at my place, I found the nest, sprayed ground bug spray on it for a few seconds and hey presto, no more ants in my house.

capture a few then using gene splicing and brainwashing clone them and prepare your super ant army and wage a brutal war with them but make sure to do it FOR SCIENCE

Speaking of white powdery substanses, i have heard that flowr kills ants, they eat it, it expands and kills them.

Haven't heard that one before.

Might be worth trying next time those bastards try to get to my sugar.

I can only recomend large caliber machine guns and naplam: they can't infest your house if you don't have a house left!

On a more serious note, filling up the crack they come through is a pointless task; they will always find another one. Poison is the way to go.

I recommend putting the poison where they normally go, like sugar and food.
