Holy crap! I noticed a superhighway of ants in our basement last week, with a metric ass ton of them swarming around a night light in an outlet??? I guess they like the warmth. Anyway, repeated sprayings in the area seemed to do very little other than kill the ones in the immediate area. So today, we set out several Terro attractants along their travel path. This stuff is like a magnet. I don't like the idea of ATTRACTING ants to an area INSIDE my house, but I have heard and read several great reviews on this stuff. Supposedly, this stuff will kill the entire colony.
Does anyone else have any experience with this stuff, or better suggestions? |

Combat Ant Gel
Be patient. Put it across their lines of march. They will walk into it, get stuck and die. Others will carry off the dead to be consumed in the hive, poisoning the rest and killing the hive. Takes a day or two and you may need to use it more than once particularly if the come from more than one nest. We have an annual problem with nests right near our front door and it works great. |

I've tried both... They work equally well, but Terro is a lot easier it use.. |
