I wish I found this thread yesterday instead of today. I just got a new place and I found a few scout ants running around. I immediately went to Home Depot to get some ant traps but after seeing there are better options, I feel bad for putting them out. Since I haven't moved in yet and there's pretty much nothing they would want except water, would it have been possible for the problem to solve itself? I guess if I cleaned off all the trails and made sure there's no food around, would the ants just lose interest? I tracked the trail to a starting point in the garage so if I cleaned them out and dumped dichotomous earth around, would that have stopped them from coming inside?

I'm going to buy some more bait and after their numbers die down, I'll seal up any holes I see with baking soda and silicone caulk. For cleaning off ant trails, will steam cleaners wipe them out? I didn't want to use vinegar because the trails are on tile that I don't want to damage. I guess a baking soda mixture might work and be tile safe?
