The heavy rains drive those little bugs out of their underground homes. I went out to my patio earlier and there must have been a hundred of them roaming around . So I got my bug spray out and went after them. They make their way into you house and are not attracted to Terro. They just wander around. I used my flashlight walked around my house and killed six of them so far. So keep a look out for these bugs.

Boil some water and pour it on them, it’s better than spraying poison around your patio.

I don't mind the ones that wander in and wander out, just not keen when they want to stay for dinner!

Pour used motor oil around your house foundation… termites and bugs will not penetrate into your home…. Synthetic oil will last longer

That is bound to be high on the list of EPA recommendations!

They bug me also. One was so big it moved my picnic table out of my lanai to the back yard.

No issue with bugs using a service that responds within days to cure the problem.
As to using motor oil....nah...not only illegal, but not all that smart(no offense to the person who thinks it's a good idea).

"Terro Ant Gel". ACE, Home Depot, Lowes, et al. Ants will be gone in 24 hours. Very little cleanup required.
