Go to Tractor Supply in Leesburg and get Bifenthrin about 25 dollars for a quart concentrate mix 2 onces per gallon in a pump up sprayer . Spray it around the outside of the house wear a dust mask, after it dries it is safe to walk on. Once a year and it will keep all bugs away. For inside you use 1 once per gallon spray behind cabinet around the edge of floor around doors. Just be sure it dries before you walk on it . Works realy great.

Default Ants

Have you called your pest control company? We have an annual contract with Massey. They treat the outside of our home quarterly and come to the home anytime we have ants, earwigs, etc. One visit from a pro clears up the problem immediately.

So much for those...sprayed and never saw them again
Leave it to the ants to find the candy jar! I swear they can find a crumb from a mile away!!

Default Home Defense

Home Defense is a great product. You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot and it comes in a spray bottle or a larger pump container. Spray it around the inside of your home and you won't see a thing for months. I used to have those tinly little ants where I lived and it was the only thing that took care of them.
