Seattle Ant Trauma (& advice)

I am seeing a lot of ‘tiny ant’ posts and I wanted to share my three pronged attack plan that kind of, sort of worked. I waged this war after I brewed ant coffee out of my nespresso machine one morning. That was my last straw. Photo for proof.

Here’s the plan:

Terro Liquid Baits as soon as you see the ants, put them in corners of any room you’ve seen them in. They take a while to work and will attract the ants so don’t be alarmed when an army walks across your floor single file at first.

Ecosmart Home Pest Control Spray (avail on Amazon), spray those f’ers directly to kill on contact if the Terros aren’t working or you get impatient. Smells like weird apples unfortunately and may dye things a weird slightly red color so be careful.

Put some sort of environmentally and pet friendly granules around the whole damn house outside on the foundation. Unfortunately I can no longer find my favorite brand but this has to still exist. I had a huge dog food sized bag.

Pest control told me it was the soil and that there was not much they could do long term. Anyway, this was the closest I ever got to getting rid of them before moving to a high rise, hah.
