You should have yard lawn care and pest control .they can be different companies..generally the actual pest control comes once a year and takes care of inside if issues and spray outside perimeter..will come back anytime if issues arise..we have superior pest control

They are ghost ants, only a special pesticide works on them. Order on line, comes in a syringe.

They could be ghost ants which are almost translucent light gray in color these are easily killed with just regular insect spray. Or they could be sewer flies which are found in the water pipes in the house. The sewer flies are small black insects. For sewer flies I would use hot water mixed with baking soda and vinegar and pour that down the drains in you house.

Spray with Shout. I read about this online. Took care of our little bugs

There mind be Mites , there smaller then a pin head . I would recommend
Triazicide - Granules
( spectracide )
I had them and I do this every 2-3 month and shake the Granules all around the house outside .
Never had a problem again . It takes care of all kinds of bugs.

Terro will kill them.

Terro

You treat them with time. 30-days from the first day of May and 30-days from the first day of September.

They are born in the ground, subsist, connect to reproduce and then die.

There are hundreds to take the place of every one you kill.

Dollar stores carry those bug bombs also. Some ride in on newspapers.

sugar ants- buy the traps in walmart- they carry it back to their nest and in a couple of days they are gone

[sipops]

Sugar ants. Need to call an exterminator.

[jcletus]

Call Massey. I'm assuming you're talking about ghost ants on the counter top. They don't necessarily go for food, but they seem to go to moisture.

[BobnBev]

I wipe the area down with "Home Defense", no more bugs, etc.

Ghost ants and many times after a big rain fall they will also appear. Similar to Terro, is Protexall Ant Killer, but instead of traps it's a blue liquid. It's a small bottle at Publix for about $4. You can put it on a piece of paper, or directly on the floor, and ants will come out of nowhere and you see lots of them die right by the puddle. The ants will vanish in a few hours.

I live on the Historic side, and I too have seen those pesky little buggers.I also have had problems with fruit flies. At least I think they are fruit flies. They are tiny little things that fly around like crazy and seem to love the kitchen sink. Like you, I found that a squirt from my sink cleaner, which has bleach in it, will stop all these critters in their tracks, and it seems to keep them away, at least for some period of time.
