If you’ve tried everything you could to eliminate them but they keep coming back, it’s time to find their nest. If you just kill the worker ants, you won’t get rid of them.

How to Find an Ant Nest

Step 1:

Add sugar to a container and place it in an area where it won’t be disturbed. Let the ants accumulate, and let them establish an ant trail.

Step 2:

Follow the ant trail back to the nest.

If there are only a few ants, it’s going to be hard to follow them. If the trail is too sparse to follow, blow on the group a little and they will start scurrying back to the nest in a solid line.

Step 3:

Once you know where the nest is, spray it with ant killer. If it’s inside a hole, patch it up so the ants will no longer build their nest there.

Step 4:

If there are still ants, leave the sugar out to ensure you have the nest(s). Do the same thing. Track the ants to a new nest. It could be outdoors or somewhere indoors, then spray again.
