How do you Create the ABSENSE of something?

My house is literally infested with hundreds of thousands of ants. If I wanted to use LOA to make them go away and move their nests, what would I focus on? The absence of them? It's kind of hard, because if I try to picture my house with everything in it, except for the ants, I end up thinking about the ants, thus giving focus and energy to their existence again. What do I think about?

Maybe you could try to focus on Toro ant bait or maybe even an anteater, although an anteater would be more problematic than the ants.

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.

I read somewhere recently that ants outnumber us people by weight!
The article also called ants 'the garbage disposal system of the universe'.

Have you tried communicating with them? They have a kind of group consciousness, so don't try communicating with them individually. Usually this method works for me, but I gotta say that ants are more persistant than most pests.

I had a pretty bad infestation last summer, when they found the way to my kitchen counter. I politely asked them to leave, and gathered them all up and deposited them outside. Ants use scent trails, so a deodorizing cleaner helps. I've heard that you can just draw a line of chalk, and the ants won't cross it, but I've personally had more luck with baking soda.

But the ants didn't actually leave. There were less of them, but they kept coming back. Finally I got so frustrated that I visualized connecting to the ant Deva the best I could and I said "Look I tried to do this the easy way, but you're not cooperating. From now on I will kill all the ants that I find on this kitchen counter."

Then I cleaned everything up again and tried getting rid of their scent trails the best I could, and I haven't seen any ants since then.
