So, I have too many ants in my bedroom that spiders are springing webs and catching 3-5 ants....a day!

How can I get rid of ants? I removed all the food, can i use boric acid in my room? Will that do bad? The ants are not in the kitchen, just bedroom and bathroom, is boric acid safe to inhale from a distance?

Call a professional. Ants are way smarter than you and me! Ask me how I know.

I agree with Callen - call a professional. They're not that expensive and the result will be worth it.

Go to the hardware store and get a bucket of diatomaceous earth, sprinkle some where the ants are coming in.

Kills the little bastards dead by desiccation, but it's not toxic.

Warning: It will do a JOB on a vacuum cleaner, though, so use sparingly.

I agree. I have always found uncles to be way more fun than aunts
