Do you squish ants when there's an ant infestation in the house?

Question

Distant · Accepted Answer

Where I live, it's VERY rare to have ants in your house but I actively avoid stepping on them on the sidewalk because I like ants. If there's one or two in the house, I will move them outside. If there were dozens in my house, I suppose I would step on them or use some anti-bug spray.

I'm a cruel being. I trample them

vishna · Accepted Answer

I'd put down the poison that they take back home to kill the entire colony. I'm actually really soft hearted and feel bad about killing bugs (except mosquitoes)

Pamina · Accepted Answer

Depends on how bad it is. If it's too bad, I poison them. Trampling them won't do shit, because there will always be coming new ones from the nest.

Bait traps. I get sick from chemicals. Ever wanted to set poisonous spiders on fire? Asking for a friend...

I burn them.

KainAble · Answer

I would spill something like water hose when they unleashed hell and an army tried to break into my back door. Then other times I used a propane torch to cook them off into a retreat.

I take whatever I can find and hit them with it until they're dead.

Rather B, since it's more effective. A is good against frustration but generally not productive :o

Not gonna take the chance of ants crawling up my legs, so I just spray them.

Thankfully, I spray a deterrent around the house beforehand.
