Failure: I didn't get to check my Life Insurance and couldn't find the Diatomaceous at Home Depot. So, I bought more ant killer sprays and again sprayed our walls.
It worked great, although I also saw a naturopath and doctor and took other herbal things to help them die off. You can give your pets it too. Do your research first!
Yes, the flying ants are in their swarm mode. Last year I only had to deal with them for about 1 week and then they are mostly gone. But what a week of tiny flying ants EVERYWHERE. So after they swarm this year, I will be figuring out how to access under front porch (I know that's where they are but its not really humanly accessible, just bug accessible) and again attempt to put an end to them taking up residence under there. I got up on top of drop ceiling in basement last year, poked my head and hands up in area of front foundation wall and put some poison down, it clearly didn't work.
CM, thanks for heads up on termite awareness. I'm positive these are standard run-of-the-mill black ants and flying ants. I have hundreds of their little corpses to inspect, haha.
Assandache, you hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't stop "feeling" ants on my legs for hours. Of course, it was imaginary - but I just kept feeling them!
JessieBelle, it sounds like you are describing a powder product? Or is it a spray? I have some of the spray, and have been using it, but I don't care for the toxic chemical smell that seems to linger. Outside would be fine, but these guys are getting inside en masse, so I'm having to spray more than I'd like to indoors.
Today I cleaned up all the corpses, put a few dozen more that were trapped inside the house out of their misery and warned my dad about the ant problem. He's so oblivious to everything, and its just so odd to me... I had to point out the dozens of bugs all around front door and by window sills and he's looking at it and saying "Oh. Oh, those are ants?" He doesn't seem the least bit bothered, and that's fine, but his unawareness means he will be squashing them underfoot and smearing them throughout the house... :-P
Accomplishment: my house is temporarily ant free.
Failure: now that sun is down, the flyers will fly towards the light inside the house and I will have some nocturnal visitors again. Rinse, repeat.
It's a completely naturally-occurring product and can be used for many things. Many people who keep a large quantity of flour in their home use it to keep bugs out of their pantry - a small amount of FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth mixed in with the flour will not harm humans and will kill any bugs or eggs that end up in the flour. (Sounds gross, but you have no idea how many insects or eggs we actually ingest annually because they're already in our food.)
And on a humorous note....you reminded me of the Pink Panther theme song, Jessiebelle....deadant...deadant...deadantdeadantdeadant deadannnnnnnt....
The flying ants are swarmers that are leaving their nest. When they get to the new place, the wings fall off. They are only good for a single flight. The thing is to let them know that they haven't reached a good place. RAID .!!! (The .!!! is a dead ant.)

Just a few minutes ago I was in kitchen and heard sound like rain drops. I looked out window, its not raining. I keep hearing it, I walk into front room, I open front door... and then I see the sound I hear is dozens of flying ants behind the blinds in big picture windows in front room flying into the glass over and over, trying to get out. As that image is sinking into my brain, I realize I feel something on my feet. I look down and there are dozens of regular little ants crawling all over my feet and up my legs. I'm NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW. As much as I hate spraying poison bug spray in the house, I doused the whole front door area with it. Will try to calm down and plan what to do next. An exterminator would be good but how much will it cost...?
Failure: I have ant infestation big time.
Accomplishment: I will deal with it. Its just little bugs, no big deal. HALP!!!
Does anyone know if we can send evil thought through this website?
Accomplishment: I did a HUGE amount of work for my clients today, and more to do tonight. Should mean a nice paycheck for next week. I even pulled more work out of one of my clients by wowing her with my project management skills. Rather pleased with that.
