[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I struggled and struggled last year, picking up every crumb (literally) and spraying the sink with vinegar-water after I dumped anything down the sink, and really they didn't really subside until I broke down and sprayed raid behind the oven, sink, and crack behind the backsplash. I know, I know, we're all doomed to get cancer and autism, but these ANTS my God. I couldn't take it.

So at the first sight of them I sprayed just like last year, and boom a few days later, they are swarming all over my cutting board that I cut my son's sandwich on a mere 2 hours earlier.

Should I brake down and hire an exterminator? Has anyone had luck getting rid of them? [/quote]

I know some people that have the exact same problem - they were told they were a type of carpenter ant and were mainly after moisture (and food as well). Like the ones at your place they were everywhere and would be on a knife, a plate, a cutting board, a glass, the sink, in the dishwasher, in the microwave....all in a matter of seconds.

We diligently sprayed down the counters with 409 after each meal and throughly dried the sinks and counters. Still had a problem with them. Finally an exterminator came, pinpointed where they were coming in, provided some traps, and that was that.

Use an exterminator if you've exhausted all other options. Otherwise, it never ends.[/quote]
