ayazumi 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 if carpentry how to spray water??I seldom see ants inside the carpentry. Normally I found them in toilets and window ledge. I spray their "caves" (grout lines) in the toilet, I always find pools of ants in the toilets. I don't think ants will appear suddenly in new houses, especially after renovation. They are bound to hide in between the grout lines and also probably crawl from outside the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they dig another tunnel out from the other grout line. I sprayed at them couple of times, and there was once a queen ant came out from the grout hole. I flushed them all into the drain. After awhile, they are back again.... They multiply so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedottyness 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 i use hot water sometimes.... what other methods you have?Then don't think so much.... i am sure it can last you for at least 5 years and after that, you can change to quartz or maybe move to condo can use listerine (mouth wash) to spray also.XD 5 yrs?! cannot la.. i got 3 kids to support! ROFL. i don't think 10 yrs also can afford to do a re-haul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
