OMG I hate those little sugar ants..ok..this sounds crazy but it works..I read it in some magazine a long time ago...fill a spray bottle with water and then dum the water into a pan ( so you know how much you need to fill your spray bottle, then take 4 or 5 cigaretts and boil them ( just the tabaco) for about 2 or 3 min. then let it cool, fill your spray bottle with the tabaco water and spray and clean the area with the tabaco water where the ants are...also go around and spray around cracks and other places they come around..I know it sounds crazy but it works... there is no way to make them go away, they probably live under your house and are comming up from the ground but that is one way to control them...give it a shot...im not kidding Good luck it works for me !!
