How do you get rid of black ants?

How do I get rid of black ants? Not the little sugar ants, these ants are big. We’ve been noticing a lot of ant activy recently, I don’t leave food out, I clean my house everyday. I’m not sure why they are around. Is this something i should let my landlord know about or try doing something myself first?

Tell your landlord, it’s his responsibility to keep your house insect and rodent free.

I add cinnamon to my mop water

It’s not uncommon. My mom keeps her house spotless 24/7 and still gets them she has to buy any poison and keep it out very often to kill them. She gets extremely frustrated lol.

Cinnamon in your door ways and windows and any other place they may come through. Swear by it and I never get ants since I started it.

This stuff is the best…Terro T100-12 1 fl. oz. Liquid Ant Killer

Call landlord - they are responsible- especially if it could be a beginning of infestation.

Sprinkle coffee grounds around the exterior of your house. They won’t cross it.
