Anyone notice an enormous amount of ant activity lately? My guess its the constant rain, but my wife wants them all dead...so I must figure this out.

I haven't had ants in years.

Bought a couple bags of talstar granules to spread. Normally I just spray and that takes care of them.

So I've had recent ant infestations around trash cans, dog food, grill, etc. I use Talstar and granules in yard but the ands have pushed past. What I didn't realize, is that for effective control, you need something that worker ants bring back to the colony.

I saw a recommendation from here on H&G to use TERRO baits. They have effectively eliminated all ants around my house in 2 weeks. I just set the baits and left them. They work fantastic, cheap, and I don't have to do any work spraying/spreading.

They’re forming a Coup.

Honestly I’ve not seen many and haven’t put down any Talstar this year.
