To burn the house down?

[Ifiwasabadger]

I have an ant problem. Despite wiping down kitchen surfaces every night and mopping the floor, the crawly little blighters seem to get in from somewhere. I suspect the side of the sink. I've pif paffed with abandon but it hasn't stopped them.

They're not in the cupboards or food thank god, but the other morning when making a coffee I realised they had got into the kettle. THE KETTLE. Much dry heaving from me and the coffee went straight down the sink. Thankfully I hadn't consumer any of it, I spotted the dead bodies floating in the cup. HURL.

AIBU to accept I am fighting a losing battle and to burn the house down?

If not, any great tips to get rid of them?

We had a massive ant problem when we were students and finally got some nippon ant killer. It was incredible. We watched literally thousands of them queing up for their turn to try it then crawling off back to their queen with a little bit.

There were dead bodies to hoover up a bit later in the day but we never saw them again

One word

DOFF

I think that I just won an Aibu!!

Op, I looked into this when I couldn't face tidying. remarkably long sentence in comparison to other crimes but totally sensible as a deterrent. I didn't look into it. I casually suggested it and on being told of the punishment started clearing up.

My hens eat ants and slugs and snails, amd my cat eats spiders and flies, OP you need more pets
