Today, I came home to carpenter ants coming out from under my baseboards. I went out and bought bait traps and now there are flying ants coming out of the woodwork. If I try to sleep, they crawl on me. FML
At least it ain't spiders?
You'd have to Google but ants are chemical sensor creatures. Something really strong like peppermint oil might keep them out of the cupboards until you get things fixed. I think some of the plug in pest repellers work on insects but I've no idea if it works for ants as well. Worth a Google 🤷
Carpenter ants like to burrow in damp wood. You may have a water leak somewhere.
There's only one solution here, clearly. You must burn down your house. Godspeed.
