any exterminators?
yesterday We started seeing a few black ants (maybe carpenter ants).
We have never had any ants in our house up until this point. I killed probably 12 yesterday and 6 this morning. Why are they just now coming in and is there anything I can do to get rid of them? this is a new house. 5-6 years old. |
we get them from time to time at our place. i get this stuff made by ORTHO at home depot. little jug you pump up with it's own sprayer. i spray around my foundation both inside and out. they usually disappear within 2 days of me spraying and don't see them again.

you spray inside your house?
|
well it's an unfinished basement. guess i should of clarified that. lol. it's probably overkill spraying inside the house too but i hate the lil f-ers!!!! somebody used to make these little bait traps that you can shove in corners or put on your counter. i've used them too. they seem to be hit and miss.

Yeah I have used the bait traps but I never saw them to be any good
|
I use "Bug Stop" from Wal Mart. Its a half gallon for like 7 bucks. Comes with a sprayer hose and nozell. Safe to use indoors and it has the same active ingrediant that the exterminators use. Works well for up to 6 months. Just spray around the basebourds and inside cabinets too.
I use it mainly for Brown Recluse spiders which i have had alot of since first building my house out in the sticks...almost don't see any more of them bad boys...one here and there but mainly in the garage. I also fog the atic every spring which is where they live before finding there way into the house. |
yeah we have black widows here but I have only seen 1 in my lifetime. I'll check that stuff out
