So you wake up one day to find that your kitchen or garage has been invaded by an miniature army of horrible little creatures. Fantastic. What do you do? Here's a few tips to send the little devil spawn back to their hole.
1. Find their food source.
This is probably why they showed up in the first place. Follow their trail to see what they've gotten into. Maybe it's the other half of that maple bar you dropped behind the couch two days ago and didn't reach back there to get because you didn't want to miss part of "The Office" finale? We were all there with you, but the rest of us cleaned up after ourselves. Anyway, clean up. Remove the food source.
2. Find where they're coming in. Hole in the wall? Door left open? It could be easy to find, or not. See how far you can track them. Think of it as a classic case of the hunted becoming the hunter. You're like Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
3. If you can destroy their source, do it. Like Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. Use fire. (Don't use fire)
4. Clean up the stragglers. I suggest using what I call "the nuclear option" against ants. It's Windex. The stuff kills the little jerks, and fast. Spray them down, come back and wipe up the bodies. Spray around the house and where they are coming in. They hate it. Almost as much as you hate them. Almost.
Now get out there, son. Bug killing is your business. And business is good.
