Make sure you hose down anything in the garage that is metal with water before introducing Chlorine gas. The water will protect it.

No, it turns into HCL in contact with moisture in the air and will corrode anything metal + fuck up the walls etc. and leave a nasty, permanent sour smell.

The damn scouts did that on the 2nd floor of the barracks back at Bliss in 1990, the DAT's went to Juarez, when we got back that morning there were still fans in all the windows, we were like ....fuck and then slept in our cars

When I was in the Army somebody tried to "get" the Sgt. my buddy shared a room with in the barracks. They didn't care that my buddy was in the same room.
They pennied the door shut, mixed up a big garbage can of bleach and ammonia and poured it under the door, then jammed a towed under the door crack to help hold the stuff in the room. They managed to get to the windows and open them up and hang their heads out the window yelling till some guys managed to get the door open and vent the room by letting the air blow through the windows to the hallway. Damn near sent several guys to the hospital. GI's can do some stupid shit sometimes. |

Bleach + toilet bowl cleaner works pretty well too. I did that when I was a kid just because the bottle said not to. Stunk up the house pretty bad even though I did it in the garage. Never had any ant problems though so I guess it worked perfectly.

Yeah, it would do the trick.....
But you would also have a hazmat problem that could easily kill anyone who went in that garage |
|
Well, it would "work" in that it would make a bunch of free Chlorine and Chloramine, but that is all about 2.5x heavier than air. So you'll need a fan.
However, making enough free Chlorine and Clhoramine to actually penetrate the sheathing, walls and structural boards in the garage to actually kill the ants would severely corrode every exposed surface in the garage to the point of it being useless. Including the fan you were counting on circulating the air, and the garage door opener and it's circuitry you were counting on using to vent the space. Plus any and all doorknobs, hinges, nails, screws, electrical conduit, etc. |

Give it a shot, what could go wrong?

OP, people like you (if you do this) are why I have to take at least
40 safety courses a year at work in addition to all the first aid/cpr and OSHA training. Please stop and call a professional. |

You just need an old car, some duct tape and some vacuum cleaner hose.

Permethrin SFR is what you need. Dilute a $25 quart with water to a .05% solution and spray/fog. Combine it with a Tri -Jet Fogger and no more bugs, anywhere. It kills just about any bug but it is not toxic to mammals, expect for cats. It hates cats too.

Are you crazy?
Mixing bleach and ammonia creates TOXIC chlorine gas. I'd call a professional. DIY bug bombs are very dangerous. |

Dust garage with boric acid. Works great and doesn't hurt anything other than bugs

You could use bug bombs just don't use too many.

I actually tried it once to kill a mouse in sub-floor ducting. I poured both and then dropped a big book onto the vent/carpet. I had already covered the others. I don't think it killed anything. I was wearing an MCU-2/P so I don't know what it smelled like.

Go to Do My Own Pest Control and get some Demon WP and some Max Force Ant Bait Gel.
Problem will be solved. |
