My parents live in a wooded area in Texas, the entire neighborhood is infested with what I think, almost sure, Argentine ants. They are little black ants, and have invaded every home, from floors, cabinets, walls, and even some peoples refrigerators, I...

Please check the label. You can use different strengths for different insects

Oh my, so sorry! I know nothing about the ants mentioned, but the Advion took care of a swarm of carpenter ants. Supposedly the ants travel back to their queen with this chemical which she ingests and ends that cycle, allegedly. Google the topic to see what pops up.

I live in Florida and they DO keep the cockroaches away. Flies and ants, no. But I use Raid Max for ants and Raid window fly traps for flies and gnats. Now I have to figure out how to control mold....lol. I just got a cat, so we'll see if they bother cats.

Yes absolutely I had the worst ant problem I have ever seen when I moved into my new home. They moved in because of a drought in Texas. The first two days I did not see much of a difference and was about to write a bad review, but I had to go out of town, I left and when I came back the next week there were no more ants, not a single one, in fact it has been almost a year and I still haven't seen one inside or outside since. This stuff is amazing. Also my dog ate 2 of the yard baits we were worried he would get sick but he was perfectly fine that's a plus also.

These ants were so small I didn't really worry about it it. I know it seems a little gross but my understanding is that the ant carry the poison back to the colony and then they slowly die off. Unless you can find where the colony is you will have to deal with this with any product.

Of the 60 ants that we received about six weeks ago, only a couple have died. It seems that the other ants move them to a corner of ant farm to make a graveyard. They go on with their other activities. Opening the top to let O2 in makes them very active, and one time a few escaped. I may have pinched one when I closed the top, and this may have contributed to one ant's early demise. At this point, I'm not sure if an ant will die here and there or if the entire colony will expire at some end point.

When you first look at them, they do not seem to be. I was worried about that, too, because we live is South Florida and ants and humidity are always a problem. Surprisingly, the sugar is not in the least caking, and no ants have even approached it. I do love the way they look and was even willing to use zip lock bags, if necessary, but do not need to. Hope this helps you.

I had ants in my dinning room around my cat's food bowl which is in front of the microwave stand. I put one under the stand and my cat didn't botherbit and she plays with everything. The next day I saw 2 ants and none since, its been about 3 weeks. I see no reason why they can't be used on the kitchen counter if placed away from the sink out of the way of water splashes. The ants will find the trap.

I don't know, but it's worth a try. The ants I had were I think were brownish and very small and on my kitchen counter coming out of a crack at kitchen window.

I sprinkled a can of the carpenter ant bait around the perimeter of the house for two years in a row and still had a carpenter ant crisis this week! The exterminator was here for four hours yesterday, used a battery of different products, and described treatment on a monthly basis for six months and possibly a year. The ants that show up are only about from 1% to 3% of the colony present!

No idea, have never seen any around this house. Bought them for ants and they seem to be "OK"

I didn't see any reduction in Argentine ant activity around my yard when I used these Hb nematodes. Whether there are other nematodes that infect ants, I don't know. I kind of doubt it though, ants are great survivors.

Just separate the individual boxes as needed. Place the boxes with the entryway towards the inflow of ants. I use several boxes in heavily infested spots, then discard them in the garbage when they are full. My ant problem disappeard in about 2 weeks, and I haven't seen any since. They were entering from a crack at the base of the cabinet under my bathroom sink and were attracted to the food in my cat's dish.

Kathy, I can't really help but when we were in college we would rub something ( a liquid) around the legs of the chair that held our goodies to keep the ants away. If I can remember what--I'll let you know. It was great having Bob and Andy here this week-end but missed you. Love, Anice

Agreed, occasionally ants get my bait. I clean the area scrupulously of debris and replace the bait. Also, make sure that the bait isn't propping the trip lever open. If I use too large a piece of Snickers (my mice's favorite) the trip lever won't move properly.
