Seeing as it may also be of interest to others with the same problem, I'll post it: We had a problem with black ants in our kitchen a couple of years ago. We tried spraying in the kitchen but had a hard time getting rid of them until one evening I noticed a trail of them coming from their nest (a hole in the ground) in our back yard and up the back wall of our kitchen. I sprayed a good dose of Raid Ant and Roach Killer all along that path, and we haven't had a problem since. So I think the trick is to find where they are getting into your house. Good luck, -- Paul Dubuc cbsck!pmd \/-\ /\-/
