What is the best junk to kill ants. I mean kill, obliterate at them. Not just some of them I want to give them the mafia treatment, KILL THEIR WHOLE FAMILY. KILL THEIR MAMA. I put that bate stuff out that they are suppose to eat and bring home and tell their mama about and they don’t die. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. They don’t find anything really good in the house. I mean they don’t find food or sweets and then come in by the thousands, there will just be this darn rouge parole ants all over the house. You see one here just wandering back and forth looking for crap and then in the bath room you find some wandering about, on the carpet. You get it, it is pissing me off. About to get a bunch of chemicals and crawl under the house and poor them there and then drag the hose and pump some water on it so it soaks deep down into the ground. Killing them and everything else around.

The only ones I found that work consistently are those COMBAT brand traps. They seem to work.. of course you need to spray with Diazonon or whatever around the House with it. But those have worked for me.

Ammonia, or something with it in it, like glass cleaner. I've also heard that ants don't like Bay leaves, it helps keep them away. Castrol Super Clean also works great.

Or get yourself one of these:

what kinda ants do you have a problem with? (carpenter, sugar, fire, etc...)

Ortho makes some of the best stuff. I use it at some of the office buildings we have. I need to apply it every two to three months during non-freezing weather. I apply it heavy on the exterior of the house at the ground line, then apply a moderate amount on all baseboards in the house, with some overlap onto the floor.

If/when they walk thru that stuff, they are toast.

I need to apply so much at my places because they are on concrete slabs, with tenants who leave food, drinks all over the place, then get mad about the ants
