Tiny ant-like things
Tiny ant-like things
I'm not sure what they're called - I call them ants but they aren't ants really. Probably not even related. They're much smaller, don't bite and generally keep themselves to themselves.
However, they do occasionally latch on to a particular area in my apartment and once they do, they invade in the thousands and can just be really annoying. I accept that I'll never get rid of them completely and I get it that there are some things that just go along with living in a tropical country etc.. but does anyone know a good way of getting rid of them when they invite the entire town over to party at my place?

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.
Re: Tiny ant-like things
A picture would help, but any ants (or friends) I've come across I tend to track back to the source - follow the trail - and RAID the heck out of that spot.
Second, they tend to go for one thing - sugar. Anything with sugar I seal up in an airtight container, that's an easy one. But one type of bug was fascinated with my rice, another with my cashew nuts - and nobody wants bugs on their nuts! So those too I now put in air tight containers.
No real bug run-ins after that.

I think you're referring to 'rice weefils'. Those can feed on grains and nuts and breed like crazy. Had 'm in a bag of rice last week.Spigzy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 7:23 pm A picture would help, but any ants (or friends) I've come across I tend to track back to the source - follow the trail - and RAID the heck out of that spot.

The problem is even chicken won't feast on these tiny (3-4 mm) bastards...
Re: Tiny ant-like things
No, they're not rice weefils. Here's a picture I just took of them. They're so small it's hard to get the camera to focus. I've never looked at them this close before, and now that I have, they do look more ant-like than I imagined. But they are much smaller.

sugar ants. mix up a paste of sugar and borax and feed them.

I don't know if fire ants eat sugar.
If they are meat ants just mix in some tuna.
Works well on those fuckin orange and black murder hornets too
