THEM! (which is to say, large ants)

[rmd]

so, i've killed a couple of ants over the past few days. i'm used to plain old sugar ants, but these are big bastards. pic behind the cut.




i've already washed the floor where i saw them, to discourage ant trails. but is this a "call the exterminator" ant? or just a regular old "god damned those fucking ants" kind of ant?

Don't let them bite you!
If you are okay using fairly toxic home remedies you can probably get rid of them on your own; I tend to reserve exterminators for large *numbers* of ants, rather than merely large *ants*; but when I lived in NJ (which is warmer than here and antier) I had to give up on the environmentally-friendly stuff and set out Black Flag Bait Boxes and spray the windowsills where they were coming in on a twice-daily basis with something that came with warnings to leave the area after using it.
Good luck! Ants can be persistent. But you can always drop, what was it, giant salt crystals on them? er, I mean, on THEM.
