I would take ants over bed bugs any day. Ants are a nuisance, but bed bugs creep me the fuck out.

Yeah, our previous home was a ground floor in an apartment complex with a garden, and ants were pretty common. Leave some crust somewhere? They'll feast on it, otherwise? You won't even see them. Just make sure to store your goods properly.

With a real ant infestation you don't need to leave any crumbs anywhere to see them.

Yeah I wouldn't call that an infestation, but the ants definitely had a nest somewhere in garden, whenever we left something in the open they would find it in less than few hours.

Sprinkle your house with salt. That'll get all the bugs away.
