We've had problems with little sweet ants off & on but those were easily taken care of. But then, the carpenter ants appeared. HOW was I supposed to get rid of carpenter ants (reminder, I don't really like using any kind of pesticides). Ray spoke with an inspector he was working with & it would cost into the hundreds to exterminate the ants.
My mom told me about a friend of ours who put out Equal & within a week the ants were gone. Yes, you read that right, Equal, as in the artificial sweetener aspartame. (just think about that the next time you have a diet drink!)
I figured it was worth a shot so I put a little in the bathroom, close to the site of infestation. Resualts weren't instantaneous, but sure enough, in about a week, the ants disappeared! We've also had fire ants crop up outside so I figured it couldn't hurt to try the equal on them. Viola! No more fire ants. This is a pesticide I can handle.
