hey allan, what kind of bait should i put out to get rid of these damn ants? i have tried the toro or whatever its called, the little clear drops you put on cardboard, and that seems to work for a little bit. it seems like they just change locations after a bit though. i cant find where they are coming in either. is there any product available that i can buy or do the pest control experts have all the good stuff>?
The best thing you can buy over the counter is Ortho Home Defense. It has bifenthrin as the active ingredient. They say you should never spray sugar feeding type ants. The reason is that they have multiple queens within the colony. If the queens sense danger they will produce a bunch more offspring very quickly.
Bifenthrin is a NON-REPELLANT insecticide, so it does not alert the ants to any danger
Hope this helps
thanks man, ill pick some up this weekend. does it work for more than just sugar ants? there are some of those, but there is a larger ant as well, not much bigger, but they are black, keep gettin in the damn dog food.
Yes it is a general broad spectrum pesticide. That and Fipronil are the 2 best active ingredients in the pest industry
