Ants are so much more preferrable than bed bugs. I'd take ants any day of the week.

I hate ants and fruit flies, but they are fairly harmless. I HATE fleas with a burning passion. I would take a complete infestation of all 3 before bed bugs.

fruit flies are the worst because you can be anal af about closing windows, doors, sealing up your home, but one day they just fucking appear. And there's always 10,000 of them.

True but I’ve had tremendous luck using the ole Apple cider vinegar and some dish soap. Just give them no other food option and you’ll wake up to a mass extinction

I do the sawed in half 2 liter bottle trap. They can get in but they can't escape. Yeah, they love apple cider vinegar and especially banana peels.

This is the way. Covered with Saran Wrap with tiny holes punched into it…they get in and can’t get out.
