traipsing thru your kitchen or other area, and you don't have any RAID on hand.... grab the FEBREZE!!... no kidding... just a little dab of spray on the ants and it's instant KILL... they don't take two steps more!!... I flipped out when this happened to me and I saw the effects!!... what's really weird, is that they've not come back!!... looked it up online and folks there said they've used the fabric spray for the same thing!!... a gal tried the air freshener on a spider and it didn't work so good, so it must just be the fabric stuff....
so , I looked up the ingredients to see what could possibly have caused this.... ready?... water, alcohol, corn based ingredient, fragrance.... hmmmmm????.....
don't matter to me as long as they are D.E.D. , dead!!.....
is this weird or what?.... LOL!!!

If that stuff will kill ants that quickly think about what it does to you since you wouold be inhaling some of it. What I known, now, is that most of those "air freshners" trigger an Asthma attack in me.

Good to know! I'll try to remember that next time I see them. I keep getting these little flies and they're only in my bathroom! I'm going to try it on them.
That's interesting! I know ants depend on scent for everything, maybe the Febreez shuts down their scent organs (antennae) and they can't survive after that.

Hey Wanda, try a small amount of cider vinegar in a shallow dish. Put it in the bathroom, where you see them and change it regularly. That always does the trick for me.
