Just...go a little easy on it
Do you have a home remedy for getting rid of ants?
When I first see them I start wiing down the area with those clorox wipes. Then I try and discover exactly where they are coming in. Usually it is under a door or a window sill. I apply "Home Guard Spray" and that usually keeps them out for at least a season.
I always had to find the nest and spray that with ant spray. It was often in potted plants.
My friend always found an actual path from the woods to their house. Once they poisoned across the path the ants stopped . . . I've yet to see a darn path at my house, yet from time to time I have ants.
Get yourself an anteater.
Dang ants! They show out of nowhere when something is there
