Try poison, there are kinds sold now, so they won't smell when they die.

Get a humane trap and bait it with marshmellows and bird seed (trust me, it works). Place the trap where you usually see the chipmunk, and then leave the trap sit until you catch it. When you catch the chipmunk, reach into the cage and grab it with leather gloves. Then you can either drown it in a bucket, turn on a car and hold its head in the exhaust pipe, hit it on the head with a hammer, chop its head off with a butcher knife, grab its head and quickly twist it back so its neck brakes, or just drop it off a couple of miles down the road. DON'T GRAB IT WITH THIN GLOVES OR YOUR BARE HANDS!!!

None, ants dont live in apartments. They live in colonies.

If you encounter a bear: \nRemain calm and avoid sudden movements. \nGive the bear plenty of room, allowing it to continue its activities undisturbed. Every bear has a zone of danger or personal space -- that is, the distance within which a bear feels threatened. If it changes its natural behavior (feeding, foraging or movement) because of your presence, you are too close. If you stray within that comfort zone, a bear may react aggressively in the form of a bluff charge, bodily contact, or even an outright attack. \nIf you spot a bear and the bear is unaware of you, detour quickly and quietly away. \nIf spotted by a bear, try to get its attention while it is a good distance away. Help the bear to recognize that you are human, by talking to it in a normal voice or waving your arms. If a bear cannot tell what you are, it may come closer or stand on its hind legs to get a better look or smell. A standing bear is usually curious, not threatening. \nSome bears will bluff their way out of a threatening situation by charging, then veering off or stopping abruptly at the last second. Bear experts generally recommend standing still until the bear stops and then slowly backing away. \nNever run from a bear. Running may elicit a chase from an otherwise non-aggressive bear, and since they can run faster than 30 mph, you have no chance of outrunning them. \nNever feed or toss food to a bear. \nClimbing a tree to avoid bears is popular advice but not very practical in many circumstances. All black bears, all grizzly cubs, and some adult grizzlies can climb trees. Running to a tree may provoke an otherwise uncertain bear to chase you. \nThrow something onto the ground (like a camera) if the bear pursues you, as it may be distracted by this and allow you to escape. \nIf you carry pepper spray, be sure that you have trained with it before trusting it during an attack.

Most likely, they can't access it. If you leave a little trail leading up to the bag and tip it over, maybe they could find their way in. It takes a little while though, for some scouts to find it, go back home, and then more ants to come.

I live in ILL as well, I catch them using corn and nightcrawlers.  If they are spawning snag them with a treble hook.

First, you need to remove the source.  The insects you may be referring to tend to lay their eggs in soil--such as the soil in your potted pants.  You need to re-pot any live plants you have in your home.  Also, you need to insure that no food (particularly fruit--peels or whole) is left out in the open or in uncovered garbage cans. It is advisable to scrub any garbage cans you have indoors.  Getting rid of those insects you can presently see is not a big problem--an off the shelf bug spray will take care of that.\n\nIf you take the above measures, you will rid yourself of the nuisance.

That's a tough one.  They are persistent little critters.\n\nTry using boric acid - you can get it at any department store.  It is a powder, quite inexpensive, and harmless to humans.  Put it in any places you see signs of silverfish, along cracks in wood, etc.  We use boric acid on our sailboat and it seems to control most pests.\n\nIf you have silverfish in your kitchen cupboards try putting loose bay leaves around all the shelves and corners.  They won't kill the silverfish, but I have found that bay leaves spread around like that tend to keep most insects away.  There seems to be something about the bay leaves they don't like.  I've never used them for silverfish, but they work for ants.\n\n\nThere are special insecticides for silverfish, including Drone Dust which actually dries them out when they pass through it.  And there are things called silverfish packs.  Any powder you put down has to go in the dark places and cracks where they like to live, not out in the open - around your foundation, inside electrical outlets, around plumbing, under sinks, places liek that.\n\nThey are particularly attracted to wet, humid areas, so getting everything as dry as posible will help.  Fix any leaky pipes, maybe get a dehumidifier.  Regularly ventilate closed rooms.  VAcuum cracks with the special crevice tool regularly.  Use silica gel to help keep things dry.  Keep all food tightly covered to remove their food source.\n\nDid you do an Internet search related to this?  You might get more ideas.\n\nIf all else fails, or if you have a big problem, you might need to call an exterminator, which of course will be expensive.\n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck with it!

We had a problem with copperheads also and mothballs around the area work great!  Also chickens will kill them and cats.  If you get bit you just need to go to your doctor or emergancy.  Make sure you wear boots when walking about out there!

Yes, I have ants in my kitchen.  Set out some bay leaves.  Seems to have made a difference.

Kill it before it bites.

Look in moist wood areas for carpenter ants. They are fairly large as far as ants go.

ants release a disgustin smellin chemical as a method of protection frm predators.so naturally when u try to kill them u r classified as a predator and so they release the metal-like smellin stuff which leaves ur fingers or whtever u used to do the murder smellin gross.
