    Same, what did they do to you anyway?

    I think you're trolling but in case you're just ignorant: you are attracting them with that food!

    You're going to end up with a LOT of ants in your house, including in your bed and your food and your clothes: enjoy all that itching, won't you?

    You could always put a line of talcum powder or flour across where they're coming in or google for a non-lethal organic deterrent

      Does the talcum powder do anything to stop them or just make them smell better and less susceptible to diaper rash?

        Ha Ha they suffocate happily, smelling much better if they are stink ants, dunno about the nappy rash

          I live in the country in a very old building and have ant problems every summer. I have never heard of using talcum powder to control them.
          My weapon of choice is "Ant-B-Gone". It really works.

      Yes they do have Scouts (not many) all throughout my room, but majority of the ants don't go past the window frame. If the ants are to go throughout the household. I would see a single-file line going down my wall.

      I've put powder down once, but i couldn't stand watching them freak out. Also watching the ants that were left on the other side of the powder grouped up motionless waiting for someone new to brush past them knowing they would die like that i removed it.

        I hope you have as much compassion for your fellow humans as you do for ants

    They sure as hell wouldn't have a problem killing you and eating you.

        'Restless and ravenous, army ant colonies are nature's Mongol hordes.' http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/worlds-deadliest-ngs/deadliest-army-ants
        Theoretically, any ant colony could overcome a human and kill it, though.

          Really? I never thought of that but then I don't let ant numbers get out of control around my house. Wouldn't you have to be unconscious? And I'm not looking at that link if it's about ants because I know I'll just start itching.
