My room is not dirty. These fuckers lurk at the edges of my wall and I'm kind of OCD and they're making my life a living hell.

I honestly cannot sleep and now eveyr dot I see starts to look like it might be moving and I want to end their tiny lives.

How the hell do you go about getting rid of ants. I've vacuumed and bleached everything and that seems to do nothing to deter them.

Please help. :(

It doesn't matter what you put down, if they're nesting in the wall (which they'll often do in a warm place, like behind a radiator or near warm pipes) you'll have to get the nest killed to get rid of them for good. If it's not your own property speak to whoever owns the building about getting real exterminators in. Or they won't go away.
