ANTS

[Squid kids Dad]

Matt..I have had the same problem for a couple of years..Went to the hardware store on rt27 in Hanson..They recommened the bait traps that have arsenic in them,,,No problem at all...put them out every spring..Of course if you have young kids or pets it might pose a danger to them..but it kills the fresking ants

Pic worked for me. Let them take as much as they want back to the nest. For every one you see, there's probably a hundred you don't.

Don't screw with them - hire a guy to rid your house of them. I hired a guy and it turned out to be the best c note I spent. After he got through there wasn't a crawler to be found for a year. I now have him treat the house every year.

with ants.... you have to be real clever...

because they are smart bugs... and the professionals ...even with all of
their sprays sometimes miss the main nest... like here for example ....the spray guy comes and afterwards......... i had more ants...

somewhere on your place....there is wet wood... it's generally on the north side of the house where the sun doesnt dry it sufficiently.

i found a spot where the carpenters had doubled up a some floor joists
underneath the deck... and to look at it... not much signs of ants...
inside or between those two [always damp] floor joists there was a huge colony with a thousand baby ants being created.

I bought some of that Amdro Ant Block, spread it around the foundation like the directions said (read twice for safety reasons). The stuff works great - no ants
