The tenants are doing the sensible thing by moving out. I hope the ant-loving owner goes bankrupt.

How do you move ants? You hire yourselves some antpokes and drive 'em along the trail, how else?
To: mhking
No problem. Put fresh vacuum cleaner bag into the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum up all the ants. Remove bag. Mail them to the landlord.

Citronella, often handed out and made into insect repelling candles, etc., is really useless for most insects, but it does happen to be a specific alarm pheromone for ants.
Not that I in the least support in certifiable looney landlord.

Go to your local Chinese grocery and purchase some ant chalk, it works like magic!
They all have it and it's only 75cents/stick but it's not FDA approved so you will have to ask for it.
Draw a few lines across their trail and the ants will be gone in a couple of hours!

How do you move ants?First you spray them with bug spray. Then you sweep their dead little bodies up and empty the dust pan into the garbage can. Put out the garbage.

Then tell the landlord you relocated the ants to that big antpile on interstate xx neutral ground at exit xx and "would you please check on them for me"!

What kind of a bridal store needs to carry leather products, is what I want to know ;-)

I think it's important to know what COLOR the ants are first!
