thank you everybody. i went to town today and bought the terro. i got granules for outside and little hotel things for inside. i really hope this works for me. i honestly don't know why i have such an issue with the ants. i am an absolute clean freak. can't stand to step on crumbs so i know the house being clean is not an issue. alot of times, i find them in bags of food that were sealed. thanks again for all the suggestions
