www.familyhandyman.com/list/how-to-identify-types-of-ants"From the ordinary to the bizarre, here's how to identify different types of ants you're likely to encounter in and around your home...." My notes: It also helps to know which kind you have when you want to remove an infestation. Black ants, also called Sugar ants, like sugar so a mixture of sugar & borax does the trick.

One day when Michael and I were living with his mom I woke up went down to the kitchen and ants crawling all over the kitchen counter. MIL left food out. I could have slapped her.

We've had an infestation in our cupboards with sugar ants. We took all the stuff out of the cupboard. Made a solution of borax & sugar which they carried back to the nest. Left it alone for a week. Ants slowly stopped coming. How did you take care of yours?

Last few years we had ants all over the place, I made sure going into this year everything was bagged, sealed tight and anti ant stuff put down on the foundation. Seems to have cleared them out, only seen one or two scrambling about. Though almost two years ago my window wood panel had a massive amount of ants in it, thank god I still had window wrap over it from the winter.

I always remember the previous house I lived in which I moved out of 7 years ago now had an ant problem but it was in the living room near the window and was very annoying. Since moving into this house I have not had any issues with ants at all which I am happy about as they are a right pain to deal with.
