Ant issues in my bedroom? HELP PLEASE!!?
This past Easter, my brother dropped a piece of chocolate in the halfway outside my room. My family and I left the house for the day, and when we came back there were about 20 as ants all over that piece of chocolate. Since then, a moderate amount of ants and a few earwigs have made their way into my room. They have no reason to stay, as I vacuum twice a week and eat nor drink anything in here (except for some candy, but that is in a tote bag in my closet and wrappers get thrown away immediately).
I am starting to get really paranoid about this as none of the other rooms have this issue; beyond that, I am afraid that they will start getting onto/into my bed. I can't even lay or sit on my floor anymore because I find about 3 or 4 ants in about a 30 minute time frame-- and my carpet is brownish/red!
Anyway, sorry this was so long, and my question is this: What can I do to rid myself and my room of these ants? I am only thirteen and we rent, so please, no solutions that are too extravagant or costly. Thanks!

the problem is that those initial ants made a pheromone trail, you need to break the trail so they dont know how to go back and forth though the house. id try to find the trails path and put granulated ant killer near the entrance where you are not likely to come in to contact and break the trail 2' or 3' beyond it (have your parents do this for you)
