14/f. I have ants in my room, and I already vacuumed as many as I can, but they keep coming back.& We don't have raid because it gives my mom a miagrane. Anything non-chemial that I can use to keep them away?

(And don't eat in your room for a while)Then you should try and locate where the ants are coming from, and you could spray a lot of water where they're coming from. Now this sounds weird but it's worked for me. Ants tend to shy away from water so this should work. [ haloguy's advice column | Ask haloguy A Question ]

My cabin in Guam was infested with vermin too.
We did not have any chemicals,so I made my own trap. ** MAKE SURE THAT ABSOLUTELY NO I REPEAT NO PETS COULD POSSIBLY GET INO THE ROOM ** Clear the room of pets, food, etc. Then take some honey or syrup and mix it with bleach. Just a little splash will do. Then take an empty pop bottle. I used the glass coke bottles, but those are hard to find any more. Put about 1 inch of the mixture into the bottom of the bottle. Tip the bottle on its side. Let the honey settle. Then put the bottle (you could make more than one) in your room in the wors spot. Make sure that ants can get into the hole in the bottle. They will go in eat the bleach and die.
The traps work well too, but this is something that you could make at home.
Keep vaccuming and change the mixture every day.
Good luck! Too bad that you can't use Raid it works wonders, child.
xokristabelle answered Wednesday May 31 2006, 12:22 am: Clear out all food, drinks, bath products, perfume, etc. from your room then put in ant traps (the kind where they eat the stuff and die) in the spots you see them coming from...if you need to do something right now, you could put like duct tape over the spots they're coming from, but the traps work better.
