Hooray for our wonderful rain - - I heard Sun City Area got .59 inches -- - And it rained, nicely for a few hours during the night. GREAT ! ! We needed those drops ! ! :star: AND now - - Guess all the super rain we got - - woke up our little friends, The Ants. This morning I saw tiny ones just going here and there on every sidewalk around my place. Certain their hideout underground was "flooded". I was not about to waste my time on this or that home remedy that might work to get rid of these little pests before they decide to attempt going inside.....so I used my favorite ANT KILL - - AMDRO A sprinkle her, there, and everywhere with the granuals -- should take care of them. Little ants will take this "food" to their queen -- then like magic - - she is destroyed - - and so is her Kingdom. Amdro is a never fail ant kill.... With all the ants running around -- I used it all around my home -- and may have to apply a second time tomorrow. AMDRO can be purchased at any hardware store, Walmart, etc.
And there are also handy alternatives. Most people will have cornmeal or grits around the house, and they work on the same principle of having the ants bring it back to their nests and since they can't digest it....Boric acid not bad either. Here's a handy post of some other options: http://voices.yahoo.com/how-rid-ants-without-using-pesticide-1550703.html
We have not had a bug problem of any type since we sprayed our house and treated for termites...which we did have. I hate ants.
Good informational - site -- re: get rid of ants. I checked this out SCJack...good information...AND I had also heard, BORAX detergent will work as well on ants nad other little pests, as well. -- I tried to find the powder form at the store.. maybe, I was looking in the wrong area -- I was looking thru the Laundry soap area...Any idea on this ? Thanks.
