Killing ants

[Chase]

In Islam killing ants is not advised, ants out of all the bugs, not even bees. But ants can be annoying when they're all over your food in the kitchen and it gets worse sometimes when you find them dead here and there in your silverware. How can you get rid of them without hurting them, and why is it such a big deal to not harm them?

Some of the tips:
