Hello, these guys have taken over lately. I haven't dealt with them before, but they're taking over and reaching their adulthood stage and I suspect that they're starting to eat my plants now as before they just walked around the leaves.

Any advice as to how I can get rid of them? Any success stories? So far I tried a vinegar water mix in a spray and it seems to have removed them but only temporarily.

90+ % iso alcohol kills basically everything, mix in some dawn and they’re dead.

Thanks. You think it's safe for me to put on my tomatoes and peppers and other fruits and vegetables? From doing some research they don't seem to think it's a good idea and the alcohol can hurt the plant.

I've heard good things about using diatomaceous earth, borax, and cinnamon.

They could be in your electrical outlets. Check those out. I used to have a bunch of red ants in my outlet but I killed them all when I found them.
