    I have extremely small ants and cant get rid of them.
    I have these extremely small ants and can't get rid of them, they are coming from seams in the walls of my mobile home in both the kitchen and bathroom. Both areas do not contain any food at this point however last year they did eventually make it to a cupboard that contained food so I put all my food in sealed containers for the most part. They are in making it into the cupboard with our dishes though. :(

    They are extremely small and are the strangest looking ants I have ever seen but I know they must be ants because they do resemble them and they definitely act like them. There seems to be hundreds of them and the sticky little traps don't seem to work at all. I hope I have given you enough information to help me.

    Normally I would suggest finding their scent trail and disrupting it with an aromatic detergent such as ammonia or one of the chlorine sprays or 409, but it sounds like you're past that. You need to get rid of the anthill rather than the worker ants that are coming in to your kitchen.

    Granular ant baits do a very good job both outside and in the crawlspace under your mobile home. They take longer, but they eliminate the entire nest, rather than repelling or killing the workers and leaving the queen to make more.

    If you could post a photo of these ants, more specific control measures can be tailored to individual species.
