These are the little devils that are coming into the house. Have been
trying the Terro liquid ant baits for a couple weeks now. They love it,
but doesn't seem to have much affect on them. Any suggestions, PLEASE.
Hopefully some of you have a favorite cure, or a "Killer" idea. We live in
a mobile home so I figure if I spray around the outside, they will just go
underneath, which is probably where they are coming from to begin with. I
don't want to call an exterminator have a bunch of poision sprayed all
around.Thanks.

You should be able to get Boric Acid in an economy size bottle with a
pointed spout for dispensing at some hardware or gardening outlets.
Dispense at all potential points of entry.

Go under and around the mobile home looking for both water leaks and
potential places for feeding. Eliminate both. If the AC condensation pipe
is right at the edge of the mobile home, route a drain area a few feet out
from the mobile home. A splash block is fine.

The idea is to get the ants to move, you can't kill them all.
