How do I get rid of sugar ants in the house?

Answer by  eyeguy (3760)

Try sprinkling cayenne pepper at the cracks where you spot the ants entering from. They pick up the pepper and take it back to their home to share and die

One teaspoon borax, one cup water, one cup sugar-mix thoroughly and put spoonful on piece of cardboard or plastic lid. Leave out and ants take it back home with them.

If you're in N. America, they aren't actually sugar ants, native to Australia, they are just called that because, DUH, they love sweet things and food bits. You need to diligently clean and dry food surfaces, vacuum and mop wherever bits have fallen, and place baits available at your market.
