Works great, and your pets can't get to the bait.
The ants did come back about a year later and we had to treat again, but since then it's been over 6 years and we haven't seen any ants. |
This is a great idea . .
thanks !!
We have fought with ants for years and years now. There is a massive colony on our property that stretched the length of our driveway up our sidewalk and even into our garage under the asphalt and cement. Its driving me nuts. They are in our cabinets, in our dog food, cereal, coffee creamer, sinks and in any crevices they an hide in. I've pulled apart out drawers, counter tops, behind the stove and fridge and have sprayed and sprayed and still there they are. I pour a drink and set it on the counter and 10 mins later it crawling with ants. Those little sob's even find there way into my computer room and crawl on me.....IM Going NUTS !
