I have come here before to ask misc. advice on lots of different problems and now I present you all collectively with this problem. First, I need to do this myself because I can't afford an exterminator.
Here is the problem. My downstairs bathroom is built right next to the garage so it's outside wall is the same wall as the inside of the garage. We have been having several HUNDRED ants come in along that wall. They stay in the bathroom and don't go anywhere else (there is nothing in the bathroom for them to eat). These are the little brown ants some people call sugar ants or army ants.
To date we have used the Terro liquid ant baits where they supposedly eat the liquid and then bring it back to the nest to kill the rest of them..... We have also used the little black ant traps which use the same principal however the ants didn't even touch those traps. They ate from the liquid traps and seemed to die right there. Unfortunately they have many MANY more reinforcements and KEEP COMING OUT OF THE WALL!!!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can put in the wall to kill these bums? Any ideas on what I can do?
I have also spread the expensive Triazicide stuff you get from Home Depot on the lawn outside and that doesn't seem to work either. I need help :bang:
