Several times a year I undergo an ant invasion in my kitchen,

probably 2-3 times the mass of the usual ants and around 1/8 inch long,
black.

We get ants every year. I put down the packaged ant "traps", little boxes
with poison in them. It's not long before you can see the trail they're
taking. A few days and they disappear.


I found that simply vacuuming up the tiny ants reduce their numbers
enough that they dissapper. We don't get many invasions of the small
ones, one or two times a year.
