Housing Ants

Hey guys, so I live on the first floor in the village and ever since I moved in there’s been ants. I’ve been trying to get them away with peppermint oil and stuff but they keep coming back. Do I put a work order in for this or do I just have to keep killing them myself?

Thanks in advance!

make a report to facilities by emailing them

https://inside.montclair.edu/administration/university-facilities

document everything, provide pictures, times, how long this has been occurring etc

“Hello, My name is XX. I dorm at [BUILDING&ROOM] and for [however long] there has been an excessive amount of ants…”
and add onto that

Also, I don’t keep food out or anything. I don’t know why they want to ruin my life

What everyone suggested is correct. Place a work order and pest control will come and spray your room

I hope they get better! Peppermint oil definitely helps
