We have had ant problems in our bathroom! One day I watched the sink for like 20 seconds and ants start coming out! I dont know how to get rid of them! Any suggestions?! Thank you!(for the person who answered my last question EXACTLY like this one, as you can see I posted where they were coming from twice. THE BATHROOM SINK!)
Lay off the acid? Usually helps me when I think ants are coming out of things. Realistically though they have to be coming FROM somewhere. If you don't see exposed pipes they can be entering then I would take some ant killing powder from home depot and sprinkle it in and around your sink where they are coming from. DON'T wash it away or down the drain. Then I would go outside and rake around in the yard and nearby. See if you can't disturb an ant hill then layer it in powder poison too. We had a LOT of ants that were attracted to our babies formula powder and getting in the nursery. So one day when we were gardening we came on the hill and dumped the powder on. I also dug up the hill to pour the powder deeper and then I sprayed the base edge of our house with repellent poison (house guard stuff). Haven't seen an ant since. The key is taking away what attracts them (food supply) and finding where they are coming from. You can also try making a paste with the poison and running it down the drain.

If you have a P trap on your sink they should not be able to come through. A P trap is an S shaped pipe beneath your sinks drain it should always have water in it. If you do not have a P trap or there is no water in it then you should start with that. If your ants are capable of scuba diving their way up through this water barrier then I would recommend a back water valve this is a small plastic box with a 1 way flapper type door inside that lets anything from the sink push open the flapper and pass through but closes when anything tries to go up from below The back water valve is glued onto your plastic drain pipe after the P trap, you will have to cut the pipe for this and glue in the new piece.
They are usually little squares with small holes in them that the ants can enter and remove some of the bait which they take back to the nest. It does take a week or so to accomplish this but its the best way. Once the ants are gone try to figure out what attracted them, do you pour soda down that drain and Is there a leak in that drain that allows them to enter it? Do not pour sweetened liquids on the ground anywhere around the house , even kids spilling their drinks will only magnify the problem.
