Here in Kahalu`u, and in Ahuimanu we seem to have a common problem.
Little black ants, about 1/8" long, that bite, climb all over, are deterred by NOTHING, are attracted to pet food, dropped scraps. etc., grease, sugar, EVERYTHING!
I have tried baiting their select foods to kill the queen, but have had no luck. The pest-controllers know less than we do! The State says (with glee!) ah yes, you have GLABER ants! Very hard to ERADICATE!
They build multiple nests, and many will be in your walls, basements, etc. You need to eliminate all the nests.
Bottom line:
They can be killed easily with Windex. ANY mild soap-based product will kill them. But you only kill the workers. Breast Cancer Society.
If you kill the workers, and not the queen, she will make NEW workers. Ad infinitum.
Orange guard is a good, non-toxic and as efficient as other recommendations.
F'ing haole ANTS!
