I feel really bad and guilty about killing any of them. I like ants, I just don't like them taking over my house. Individually I think they are cute. However it got so bad that when they swarm in the masses they leave you with only two choices of living with a mass swarm of ants in everything, or to get rid of them. My husband was vacuuming them up in mass, I couldn't bring myself to do it. No matter how many times he would get rid of their trail and spray deterrent, they would come back. With all the rain, they just keep coming from all sides of the building. There is too many. People have said to put down stuff like clove or cinnamon powders on the lines and holes they are coming in from. These guys could care less and just walk right through it all. They literally come out of any new crack they find, and there are endless tiny cracks small enough for them to fit through. The only thing I can think of is in willing them to leave. If that works, it would really convince me of LOA.
