Ants near by sink, yuck!
I have google searched and asked some friends but what do you girls think? I have ants near my kitchen sink. They appeared a week or two ago when DH opened teh window above the sink one night. There are usually only 2-6 at a time but I think they are gross. I keep killing them and of course they keep coming back. I put some vinegar out where I thought they were coming in. Anybody have any other ideas? I would rather not use harsh chemicals near the sink and countertops. People have recommended Terro..I could put that outside. TIA!

Terro is awesome!! Terro makes little liquit ant baits, too. We had a few ants here and there, and haven't seen any since I put terro in the rooms we saw them in!
Yuck-we battle this every spring and summer at my house and those little ants drive me bonkers!
DH sprays insect spray around the foundation of the house and that seems to help. Not 100% sure on the brand but you can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot.
I also put those little ant traps on the counters, I just bought the "Amdro" brand and they seem to help a little bit. I don't like having them on the counters because of the chemicals but these ants are out of control.
And of course keeping any sort of crumbs/food off the counter and keeping the dishes done is the biggest thing that I've found that helps. I'm bad about leaving dishes in the sink so I have really been trying to keep all the dishes done and wiping down the counters a few times a day.
