Their every where!
In my trees, all over my fences, all over the back yard.
In my front yard, in my cars.
All over my cars, in my boat.
All over the house. Not even a mouse.
On my neck, in my bath.
On the roof, in the street. On my feet!! :mad:
WTF! How do I get rid of them?

Go to a feed store and buy a product called ACEPHATE.
It comes under a couple of brand names, but it is really good for ants. It smells like rotten eggs, but really does a good job....OUTSIDE.
For inside spraying, use a product called DEMON WP or BENGAL Concentrate and spray the baseboards, etc. inside the house.

My Clark dude always attacks them. If he sees a mound, he gets another can of different stuff and sticks the nozzle right in the opening and floods it. They would re-appear in a different location on the property. He would just keep hitting them until they were gone. Haven't seen a mound in years.

Ant Bait (Sure fire ant killer!) My wife has used it for years and it works.
3 Cups Water
1 Cups Sugar
4 teaspoons Borax (laundry aisle of your local grocery store)
Soak cotton balls in mixture. Place them in a dish near ant hill or in ants path.
Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Ants need to carry it back to the colony. If ants are seen dead around mixture the Borax is too strong so re-mix reducing the

I need to find the ant hill. I put my truck in the shop to be worked on and
they said it was covered with ants.
Everywhere I look I see ants. :mad:
Clark has been comming out on a regular basis. Time for some of those other
remedies.

H2O Adbantage's recipe is right on. There are several commercial productts out there that basically use that same formula; borax, corn syrup/sugar, and water. One of them is called Terro. You can get it at most farm supply places. Put the stuff near a trail of ants and they will literally swarm it. For a few days you will see zillions of the little bastards all over the bait/cotton ball. Know in confidence they are eating their last meal!!! :crossx: They take it back to the nest and feed every other ant the stuff. I've put a few of these out at the same time for ever quicker results.
It takes a week or so, but they WILL go away. Do not spray any other bug spray around the bait though. The temptation is to spray the little shiats cuz there are so many in one spot. Although very satisfying, if you do this you are only killing the ones you see, and not the millions back at the nest. Plus they will not come back to the bait anymore if you nuke it with toxic crap. Good luck.

I spray melothyon in an ortho sprayer around the perimeter of the house, then on the plants, concrete, etc all around the house.
Never have a problem...
