Its not the first time I had problems with ants actually, but this time they were starting to get on my nerves. Insecticide sprays are quite efficient when I was staying in a single rented room. Just spray any trail of ants you see...and if its not in my room, its not my problem. Heheh...
Not anymore though. If its not the wet kitchen, its the dry kitchen. If its not the dry kitchen its behind the cabinets...and insecticide sprays may take out part of the colony but they will come back with a vengeance. The only way to wipe them all out is to get rid of their leader...the queen ant and after consulting with many people, ant baits are the way to go.
I managed to find these China made ant baits (you can tell its a genuine made in China product by its english instructions) at a morning market at Lido. RM1 for 4 packets. That evening I sprinkled some of the baits at different locations and within minutes it was an instant hit.
I was expecting ant carcasses when I woke up this morning but seems there were still some ants crawling about. They took all the bait though... Hmm, maybe it takes some time to work?
