Very Cheap, Easy and Very Clean Way to get rid of ants...yea the crawling insects. [View all]

Two to three weeks ago, I saw them...lots of them crawling under my front door..tiny, ugly, and many ants. Having a party in my entrance hallway. So I read somewhere, maybe here about a cheap and easy way to get rid of them. and clean...no smells, no residue, no poison that can hurt Stuart G..

I read somewhere to use..are you ready? Baking Soda. Regular cheap baking soda. The kind we sometimes put in water when we have an upset stomach. small amount, with lots of water often stops some of the bloating...and what about those crawling around a foot or two past the door?..I got some cheap household cleaner, with bleach and sprayed them. that did it..but what abouit the infestation coming from under the front door? I laid out a layer of cheap baking soda, that does not smell, right under the sliver of space that they were sneaking in by. A couple of days later..there were still some late arrivals..so I stepped on them..or sprayed them with the bleach stuff. The crawlers did not like the baking soda and the numbers went down greatly. So??? for the last 5 days..nothing...I will leave that small layer of baking soda there for a while, and then wash the floor. very cheap, easy, and clean..
