I know this doesn't qualify as "natural" - but everyone I know who has used Ortho Home Defense (spraying the outside of the house), myself included, has nipped the ant issue in the bud. It works really well.

I haven't heard of any natural remedies!

Re: Ants?

I feed and take care of feral ants. I don't think it is right to kill them, so I take them to the vet and have them fixed so they can't reproduce. If we all work to control the ant population, we won't have this issue.

Re: Ants?

nothing. NOTHING. we even had a terminex contract and it tooks 2 months for them to be able to figure it out. with a newborn, toddler cat and dog we tried the "all natural" route but it got to the point that i didn't care what bait was used. A product called Quantum is what finally did the trick.

its only going to get worse with the warm, wet months coming so try to knock it out now!
