We were told by our exterminator to use Terro Liquid ant baits ( sugar based w/borax......at big box stores). Set 4 inside, and 4 outside. Worked like a charm and they haven't come back in a year.

That little bottle from Amazon will last you years.

If you find the ant's trail & place a couple of drops ... watch. It's like moths to a flame. They'll eat those drops in a couple of hours & rush on back to their nest, to kill their brethren.

Grits, they take back to nest, Eat, drink water and die. takes awhile tho.

In our early years here, starting in 2007, we occasionally saw tiny ants, roaches (not tiny), beetles, spiders etc in our homes. About ten years ago we bought Riddex Plus plug-in insect deterrent devices, and we almost never see any ants, bugs, etc in our house. The devices emit some type of signal that humans and pets don't hear, but which disturbs creepy crawlies, so they stay away. We also never have our home sprayed inside, as we're (especially me) very toxin-adverse (my husband does put insecticide outside around our house). We have three of the devices in our 2100 square foot home. Even though we don't have one of the devices in our garage, we also seldom see any insects etc there.

Terro is the way to go. Place a couple of drops in the area and don’t be surprised if you see more ants than you previously saw. They take it back to the nest and it wipes them out.

No need for professional treatment. TERRO liquid ant bait traps will take care of the problem…… pronto.

Our tiny buggers were gone in a day, never to be seen again, using the liquid TERRO bait traps.

The TERRO liquid bait traps remain liquid. I’ve not seen them dry up after being opened.

The "Liquid" dries up on a couple of days and you need to give it a little "scrape" to get it off your counter tops or wherever. It's a much more innocuous product, than the little "packages" ... you can't really see it, unless you look for it.
