kellynkay? How did you end up getting rid of those Pharaoh ants ???
I don't yet have them in my food products (thank goodness) but have them around my kitchen sink. I know it's just a matter of time before they invaid my sugar, peanut butter and all sorts!

Help! LOL

We lived in a place that had a horrible ant problem. We used to live in an area that was orchards before the housing got built so the ants loved all the old dead fruit still in the ground. Anyway, I kept everything in the refrigerator, including sugar. It didn't stop them though.

One morning we woke up to find yet another ant attack in the refrigerator. I followed the trail and, sure enough, they were in the freezer! The ants got into the freezer about 4 or 5 inches then froze solid - . The problem was, as I had the freezer door open to clean them out, they would defrost -

It was a beautiful house but I wasn't sorry to move.

I strongly recommend getting insectide that is injected into the ground to control your problem. I don't know of anything else that really works.

Thanks Cookie2.
I have read about these little buggers and it says that any type of insecticide will just break up the colony and then they form a "budding system" . I am assuming that this will cause them to move to more parts of my kitchen . They say that a bait system will work. I just don't have any experience with ant baits and am unsure about putting one on my kitchen counter
