hey we have a do-it-yourself pest control place over here, is the bifenthrin still probably the best choice? and will it work inside and out? safe for kids and pets to be around?

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

I got fire ants that are not in mounds. Will that work just putting it around the outside of the house?
