Wow! We had those and while the poison seemed effective, it seemed like a lot of the ants drowned in there instead. :\ Really? Wow!

My son drank one when he was 18 mos old. I called the poison control # and they said it's the only one on the market that is non-poisonous to humans & animals. Terro Liquid Ant Baits are baby safe.

I know that Orange glow works, but you don't want to use this where children or animals can get. I left mine over night around my kitchen sink and on counter and they were gone. Just make sure to wash the counter with soap and water really good before you place any food products in the sink or on the counter.

Did not proofread . iPad fills in odd words. Another suggestion: MAX brand bait stations. The pros use these and they work, but they charge an arm and leg for them. They may be available on line. Still have to make sire the children don't pick them up and suck on them....ugh! Oh, gee, I meant inhalation risk!! Did not proofread . iPad fills in odd words.

As it is an inhalation fish, and NEVER use the pool kind-per Richard Fagerlund, aka the Bugman Chalk - never buy ant control chalk. has been found to be super toxic to people (often an import from Asia) The Bugman says pbj mixed with boric acid, but this has to be kept from kids. When Martha Stewart had a very strong mint spray on the Mkt. Here in CA, it worked beautifully....then disappeared. Be very careful with the D.E.

My husband is a landscaper who thinks I am absolutely out of control with my ant obsession. I cannot STAND them. They make me feel like my house is dirty too and I am obsessed with cleaning. I dread the beginning of spring because I know they are coming and what do ya know.... here they are... UGH. I have a 3 year old and a 21 month old. I have sprayed some botanical spray which works awesome by HOT SHOT but I guess its not taking care of the nest. So, we have sprayed around the outside of the house and put out ants baits in the house. I have to get better at NOT spraying them. I just want them to GO AWAY!!!!
