Anyname Neutral Newbie February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 Try the sugar gel types, they are usually more effective, not because they are more toxic but just a more attractive bait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo 4th Gear February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 If you can't find the thing that is attracting them then try to find the trail as close to the source i.e start of ant trail as possible, and place something / bait that will attract them. Example a bowl of sweetened water. The bowl makes it easier to clear away and 'promotes' drowning of ants. This will cut off the trail and make them gather nearer to their source. Then when the bait is full and they are having their mass orgy, just spray insecticide. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyname Neutral Newbie February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 Key is to kill the queen, hence the use of bait otherwise its endless, even then when one specie is killed usually replaced by another type and colony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiario 5th Gear February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 i am one that bought the sugar gel type ant baits all the way from ebay america. they works wonders as the ants will always be attracted to it. but, it will only last a few weeks, then you will see the ants coming back, its like they spawn again. i will use the gel again, and the cycle keeps repeating. gave up, these ants will never disappear, like energizer, they keep spawning and spawning.

Roborovskii 4th Gear February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 Either learn to live with them or get used to the exterminating cycle (they always come back). I have gotten used to the cycle. Sometimes your home will be ant free for up to 2 months. But at times they come back as fast as 2 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
