Default Ants! They're everywhere!

I keep finding ants in my room, particularly around my desk.

I've cleaned my entire room head to toe, stopped eating in my room, put ant traps down, and sprayed bug-killing-cancer-giving stuff all over my room and yet they still are swarming my room.

How do I kill these bastards? :|

Ants can be a bitch to get rid of once you have them. Just keep food out of your room and rooms around you and go buy some any traps from the grocery store. Good luck!

boric acid is like a barrier to keep ants out they will penatrate , although uber harmful if swallowed and blah blah ......
<---- fire ant allergy knowledge
P.S. edit
window cleaner kills them [ windex and so ] ALOT of ant killers that are like a small dome or half circle or other type or ant house killer thingy thats a lasting one has a small ant attractant in it so it may cause more problems for you
also gasoline or axe + lighter / matches if your a pyro !!!!also bleach will kill them .

try to follow them back to their nest and spray the nest entrance with some sort of pesticide. That helped me get rid off the ants I had in my kitchen, although the nest was quite easy to find.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned boiling water. We use it whenever we have ants and it works wonders.

Yeah, we oftenuse the boiling water trick and it works a charm. Assuming you can find the source of the ants, boil some water and pour, pour, pour onto the little devils' spawning ground! Feel like an angry ant god as you feel the satisfaction of giving them a well deserved fate! But seriously, boiling water poured onto the nest should work.

This solution isn't unique to ants. If you have a problem with anything that's alive, pouring enough boiling water on it will solve that problem!

Find where they are coming from, and spray endust lemon multi surface dusting spray. I had them coming in through a crack between the wall and the window sill, I sprayed it with that, then sprayed it again one week later, and no more ants.

They hate a compound in lemons that the endust product has, and it covers up the ant trails they use to find their way. any ant that gets the smell on them gets massacured by the other ants when they go back to their hill, which gets the smell on the killing ants, and it can put quite a dent in their numbers.
