monoblokIt's spring, so it's time for...ANTS!!!
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...

We brew up a batch every spring, make baits and set them out. Still takes too long before the invasions stop.

Black92LXI have tried every home remedy with zero luck.
I have $135 budgeted each year for the pro.

houndawgTerro works for us. The active ingredient is boric acid, or Borax.

ridgeratI put out bowls of water just for the ants. They never come inside the house.

bubbatimeBuy 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.htmlYou 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.

slabsides45We 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.
