Traci , every Spring I get carpenter ants and it annoys the heck of me. They come from outside and I see them in my kitchen. I have had the exterminator come and that has helped but I will try want Tink suggested if I see them soon...

We have fire ants down here, and they are attracted to electric motors, like in your refrigerator or freezer. They also like, I know, this is gross, dirty clothes. If you spilled food on a top, they will eat the food and the place on the top where it was. Nasty creatures. We us Amdro ant bait outside where their nests are to get rid of them.
Some ants are looking for something as simple as a drink of water. Good luck controlling them. I hate bugs in the house, but in warm climates, they are always sneeking around.

We've had ants coming in this year too. I'm finding them on my kitchen counter and that's the only place I see them. I keep my counters very clean, so I'm not sure what is attracting them. I used this stuff from Wal Mart in the lawn and garden section. I just sprinkled it right up next to the house (outside) and it's been working. If they start coming in again, I will try Tink's suggestion.

I'm glad it's working for you Traci.
I always like a quick cheap "fix"
