What would you recommend to get rid of sugar ants? Home is new construction (finished last June) and we randomly have sugar ants in our bedroom. There is no food in the room, and I moved everything but large furniture off the the floor and vacuumed multiple times, but the ants are still coming in. We have a crawl space access point in our bedroom closet, we figured that's where they were getting in, so we sprayed the outside foundation with pesticide, and put an ant trap next to the access hatch, but they are still coming. There is a second ant trap in another corner of the room, where I found a dozen of them under my shoes this morning. We keep a clean house, no food outside the kitchen (where there are zero ants), the biggest issue is tracking in sand.
Thanks for doing this AMA as well, I know your responses are limited, but it's still really cool to hear behind the scenes tidbits from people that don't work with the general public.
