So, I have this huge ant infestation because of a bagle my stupid sister left on the floor :facepalm:. So I have two questions, 1. how do I get rid of them without harming them TOO much? 2. They were breing alates (I'm pretty sure, unless it was a very skinny queen), what does that mean? it is nuptial flight season where I live so, are they having a nuptial flight in my room (eef, that would be bad :sore:).

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

If it's because of the bagle, throw the bagle outside, if they stay after doing that... well, even though we keep them, ants can still cross a fine line between one of the most interesting creatures and pets, to pest, so, I wouldn't worry about killing them too much.

This was already answered on their other post, this was just a double post because they clicked the post button and didn't wait for it to load.

The ants have retraeted now after the bagle was gone, thanks anyway!
