***
The Little Black ant is a prolific ant species native to North America. Little Black ant colonies can reach up to two thousand workers. And while not as bad as other ant species, little black ant control can be difficult.
Little Black ants are extremely small -- typically only a sixteenth of an inch long. Though they are called black ants, they can range in color from dark brown to jet black. They do have a stinger, but it is too small and weak to be of any threat to use or pets.
Little Black ants can be found throughout the United States, but are densely distributed in different regions, such as parts of California and the East Coast. They can easily be found in wooded areas, but can also infest yards and homes. Nests in the yard can be found in decaying wood, along pavement or in sidewalk cracks, under rocks, or in yard debris like logs or bricks. Inside, they can be found in wall voids, behind decaying wood or wood work, behind masonry, or in kitchens.

Start outside with Reclaim IT. Use this with a hose end sprayer, following label instructions.
Broadcast spray the Reclaim IT in your yard for complete coverage. You can aslo spray any flower or mulch beds that might be harboring little black ants.
Next, use D-Fense dust around your home. Using a duster, apply D-Fense dust inside wall voids, under appliances, behind electrical fixtures, and into points of entry like weep holes or spigots.
Finally, for complete ant control, use Ant-Trax ant gel bait. Ant-Trax is a sweet gel bait that comes in a syringe for easy application. Apply Ant-Trax in locations where ant activity is common, such as kitchens, near appliances, near baseboards, and entry points. When baiting, be sure to remove any competing food sources by storing food in airtight containers or picking up pet food.
Prevent little black ants from returning by continuing to eliminate food sources in your home. Clean countertops, sweep, and vacuum regularly. Remove water sources by fixing any leaky plumbing. Remove yard debris, and trim vegetation back from the house. And be sure to spray follow up applications of Reclaim IT every three months for continued protection.

I learned one thing about ants. They don’t learn, no matter how much I kill the young blood they always come back.
-
THEY ARE IN MY ROOOOOOOOM
-
‘Follow their trail’ There’s literally no trail. I see THOUSANDS of them walking around like a crowd of people running away from a wild bull. There’s no specific direction they’re going in… they’re just running around in weird directions. They took over the ENTIRE kitchen just running in crazy directions. I tried spraying them all but they RUN AWAY FROM IT and find new locations to be at.

I just turned my whole house into a gas chamber and now I can’t breathe and it’s 3 in the morning
-
I just found some below my sink and I’m quite disappointed in myself for not keeping things clean enough
-
For some reason I’m always finding ants in my room, there’s not even any food, drinks, or crumbs in my room..
-
Is it a bad thing that I feel sadistically good when baiting the ants 🤦🏽♀️😂 in my head I just think "MWAHAHAHAHA" when I see them taking it back to the colony.

Every summer for 20 yrs the tiny black ants would show up in our kitchen. Finally last summer I mixed a small amount of 20 mule team borax with a small amount of honey on a piece of paper and put it on the counter top by the sink. Within minutes the mixture was covered with the tiny ants. We let them feast on the mixture and the next day and every day after, no more ants.

Ants are starting to come into my room, for no absolute reason. I rarely eat snacks there, and finding their trail is impossible when your floor is literally carpet, help

There's some holes I'm seeing in this video regarding treatment. First one being the identification of the ant. Little black ants all look the same to the layman, but looking at their size, speed of travel and how loose or tight their trails are will tell you whether you're dealing with a Rover (sugar ant), odorous house ant (smells like windex when you crush one), argentine ant, acrobat ant, or any other species that find themselves in a home and requiring different methods of treatment. Particularly if you don't have a microscope or spyglass handy for proper physical identification. Dusting a Pharaoh ant, for example, is liable to make things worse as they'll move elsewhere in the house. Assuming this video is dealing with the more common Rover house ant, dusting the crevices they're coming in from is one way to help get rid of them as they typically nest in the walls. Using a sweet bait indoors is not recommended, rather using the bait near garden bushes to help draw the ants out of the house instead of further in. Some ants require baiting indoors to solve the problem and it's suggested you contact a reputable pest control service that can give you a free inspection and quote (and advice if you know you can't afford it). The video has it exactly right to seal up competing food sources, but that's just basic logic when keeping pests from wandering into your home in the first place. Spices, flour, sugar and grains will entice any assortment of ant, roach or rodent.
