OK
insectigone - afe for all kinds of pets, except the two-legged variety ! but, if you puff it in behind the fridge, stove, under the sink etc., they hopefully shouldn't get at it . . . can be bought at Canadian Tire, prbably Wal-Mart etc. and it's not expensive - lasts us a whole year, at least. That's what I don't like about the traps, 2 or 3 in a pack, and that's it, gone - but maybe that's my Scottish roots showing !
reno....that would be great...
it is in the garage - our problem is (mainly) ourside, and we want to keep them there !!! but I will look for you all - mayeven scan the label !
I have used a sticky liquid bought at Can. Tire. I put little cupcake liners with some ant killer in them. I place them up high away from the dog as I do not know if it could harm kids and animals. I am out of it now or would read you the label. :) Has worked everytime. yes the stuff is taken back to the nest as the powder is. :)
It is kinda cute. boy, I am writing like a Canadian/American already! (kinda) :D
btw...i hope you don't mind me calling you Cat?...i just realized i didn't ask you if it was ok...just habit...i have a cousin named Catherine and i call her Cat...anyhew....yup...i bought into the ad too..have tons of them around the house....i think somedays they work better than others personally
We are using the RAID cups, yip, succumbed to the ads on tv. I don't think it is working though. Is this powder safe for kids?
[B]Does anyone know a safe way to control ants. they're trying to move into my house. [/B]
Crazy...doesn't it drive you crazy...lol....i read that you are supposed to find the nest and pull it out....ya ok....last time i checked i'm not a smurf....besides i have thousands here...they would be long gone before i even got half way through...lol
what is the name of the stuff...i'm getting tired of smacking ants on my counters...lol
powder from Can Tire or somewhere like that, you dust around where you see them, they are attracted to the stuff, take it back to the "nest" and in a couple days, no more ants ! It is also pet-friendly, as we have a indoor/outdoor kitty. it does, however need to be re-applied if it rains.
Good luck !
