What is the best procuct for getting rid of ants? I see a bunch around my
kitchen window and sink, and I kill them, and minutes later there are more.
They are the really small ones.
I think they are in the walls. Do they live in the ground, and just travel
thru the wall to the kitchen?
I do keep my kitchen very clean, so it's not like there are food crumbs
laying around.

Terro has worked well for me. When you put it down the ants will have a
field day feeding on it. There will be a zillion of them. After about 3
days their number will suddenly drop and they will be gone til next year.

A product called Terro seems to be a good all around bait to try first.
But sometimes the ants can be choosey on what they want to feed on
changing from sugars to proteins so trying several baits before they
accept it may be the course. Depending on the species they can be
living in the wall itself or they can be outside ants coming in, where
treating the source may be a quicker resolve than the bait in the
kitchen.

Go to the supermarket or hardware store and buy some ant traps that
contain a few percent boric acid or borates listed on the label and
follow the directions. The work slowly and surely because the ants
bring the toxin home and it destroys the colony.
This way you don't take the kill everything that moves approach and
only target those ants entering your home.

log on to www.gardensalive.com and look for liquid ant bait. Comes in
two ounce bottles. Only stuff that I've found which works.

You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.
