What's the best defense against ants in the home?

With the warmer months, our ant issue has also come back with a vengeance.
Isn't there a powder or something that ants bring back to their colony and it kills them all?
Or any other great solutions?

Cleaning the counters of any food residue always did it at Gulf Shores for us.

Is Terro sold in Home Depot or Lowes?

Mix sugar and borax into warm water. Dip cotton balls into that solution and put them in a shallow container. We used a Pringles lid. Don't kill any of the ants that come get it. If you're particularly vengeful like me, point and laugh at the ants heading home.

They went into my dogs dog food bin which we thought had a very tight lid. It was a nightmare.

I've used this every time I've had an ant issue. It deals with ants quick and has a lasting effect.

Talstar p around your foundation. Then in your yard.

3 pronged approach;
1) talstar granules in the yard and around the foundation perimeter.
2) suspend sc liquid applied indoors and outside doors, windows, and brick weep holes.
3) ant bait gel for any that are inside.
Can't miss.
In BR check out pestop on oneal lane.
