ANTS everywhere !

[weredIgo]

Hi everyone,
I have the tiniest little ants everywhere. Even in my bed. Their on my night stand,bathroom sink,appliances every where. Now, the kitchen is new and I have not cooked in it, so they are not after food.I have sprayed but it does no good. Here comes the crazy part, I think they are after me, in the bed. They look kind of grayish white with tiny black head and mid-section. They look like those little sugar or what they call piss ants. They are so tiny. I also think they are parasitic. I have picked at a couple of sores on my face and have seen with my own eyes twice one crawl out. If I lay down a pair of tweezers on a tissue on my night stand they go right for it. Needless to say I wash all impliments. I think they are attracted to this goo we get on our bodies too. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to help? Anyone ever heard of parasitic ants? How the hell do I get rid of these bastards? HELP!

You know, I never knew there was really an ant called a pissant. learn something new every day.

Pissant, Piss Ants, Small Ant Pests, Sugar Ants

check this website out. Does your ant look like any of these? Maybe the ants are attracted to the insecticide you now have in your body...........?

you can use essential oils citronella/peppermint/lavender/garlic or spearmint.the mints are the best to use they hate it.you can make a spray bottle up with water and spray everywhere.
Or go to local store and get ant killer powder-assuming they are usual ants this would kill them.If you have any bug arrest or ecovie try this as an alternative.also try hoovering them up and put some sort of oil in vac to kill them or ant powder.

Hey speaking of lavender....see the movie, "A Good Year" (Russell Crowe...yum). I realized after watching it that lavender is, in fact something that keeps insects at bay. In this case... it was scorpions. If it works for scorpians.......................

Lavender is great for the nerves and to relax as well. I remember my Western herbalist saying to use some of the oil in the bath at bedtime for a soothing snooze to follow. Maybe a glass of warm milk as well before lights out? It is wonderful that lavender may also help repel the bugs we attract. Great suggestion Kritts. And don't some here use the Bug Arrest in the tub sometimes? Not sure how much though. Perhaps those who have used it can post here?

Here is a page which tells you how to make your own insect repellents with essential oils:

Weredigo,
I know I ve seen things coming out of my skin which resemble insects.I think Morgellons somehow replicate these insects because they are never exactly like they are meant to be .Either larger than usual or paler in colour.
Last week I kept seeing houseflies everywhere but not one of them was flying.Just crawling around on surfaces even when I tried to swat them.Handicapped Houseflies.
Try 1/2 White Vinegar and 1/2 water in a spray bottle to kill the ants . It kills a lot of the insects I ve seen .Look around the outside of your house for signs of a nest .You will need to find out where they are nesting to eliminate them completely.

Hi WeredIgo,

I had that problem last summer. I didnt know pissants were real either Kritts!

They liked sitting at the bottom of my coffee cups in the kitchen, around the damp sink. Because they are small and light coloured I didnt realise that they'd got in my food cupboards - mainly in the packets of rice for some reason.

Once I'd chucked out the food and cleaned all the cupboards/doors/surfaces, (and cleaned some more the week after) they didnt return...and also disappeared from my skin too. I think the kitchen was their nest site - maybe even the rice.

Good luck!!

Probably CAME with the rice Jo.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Just as Iwas going to write this, here comes one out of my laptop. It's not like there is a trail I can follow, they seem to be just roaming around EVERY WHERE. Great website Kritters. Ithink they most resemble the ghost ant.I think. Oh and Jo, you made me feel better with the line- they were gone from your skin too. They get on me in my bed sometimes. I brush them off, don't feel them bite or any thing but I did see what I said Idid re- two sores on my face. I know sounds crazy. You couldn't make this stuff up and who'd WANT to. Humiliating. I'm so allergic to chemicals and perfumes and all I've had to use is Hot Shot ant/roach killer,I have to get out till the smell goes away. Iguess I'll try some ant bait things. But I need someone to tell me what I can use on wood furniture that kills ants and does'nt hurt the finish. C

Hey Wereigo:
We had a major ant problem also, tiny little creatures, almost impossible to see. When I slept in the same room as these creatures, I itched like crazy. I think they are similar to mites, though visable. We used diatamacious earth, which we rubbed into rug and dusted the floor with Borax. We also found the nest under a tarp we were using outside. We killed the nest and haven't seen those particular things since, or their brother'en, the bigger ants. Do you have anything outside covered?
Good Luck!
Blessings, Faith
