Anyone else got ant problems?
I’m in Norton. Me and a couple others have had ant problems in their rooms or their cars. Curious if this is campus wide or just in the Norton region.
Update: I found Ortho indoor home defense spray worked best for the ant problem.

I lived in norton 4 years ago, it seems to just be the location of the dorm. They will get in your car too so dont leave food in it!!! Also beware of the ladybug infestations too lol

Lived in Norton last year. The ants will be there for the first couple weeks, they just come in over the summer when no one is there. If it really bothers you get some bug spray. As for the cars, try not to park under the trees. They were getting in my roomate's car that way. The most common campus wide bug problem is fruit flies. Thats what i'm having in my new room in Noble so far :(

I’ve heard the trees thing. Good tip. Sadly, they’re in my car door so I just have to place a trap in the car and hope they leave the door.

Make sugar water and put a little Borax in it. Put that in a small dish or lid and set it in your car or dorm room. Give it a day or so. No more ants.

living in Juda (first floor) and I've seen several sugar ants coming up by my desk. no food or drink left out either, but it's been so few that I'm not sure if it's worth getting traps or not

In Noble also having ant issues. Went to walmart to get ant traps and I got the last pack so I can only assume this is a campus wide issue.
