Let the losing battle begin once again! Damn odorous ants are making their annual way back into the house. I've already sprayed around the outside perimeter of the house twice this year with the nasty stuff and set out new traps, but the little buggers are evidently undeterred. It's going to be a LONG time before next winter... -MG | ||

Buy some professional grade stuff. $13 a tube. Don’t waste money on stuff you can buy at Walmart.. https://www.domyown.com/advion...-bait-gel-p-932.html You use so little of this stuff that one tube will last you 5 years easy. Just a few squirts along the ant trail will wipe out the entire colony within a few days. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

We have great success with using Ortho Home Defense every Spring (and sometimes again in the fall). Spray the house perimeter outside and across doorways and around windows, and they are gone. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
