Re: Ants in my Strawberrys
ok, how about some help for those tiny ants that get into the house? <br /><br />I used to use Terro Ant Bait. It's a sticky liquid, you put a couple of drops on a piece of cardboard; ants carry it back to their nests, and colony gets wiped out. Worked great, usually only needed to put it out once and ants were gone.<br /><br />Problem is that the old Terro Bait used arsenic. The new Terro Bait uses 5.4% Borax. Once I ran out of the old Terro, I tried another brand that uses 5.4% Boric Acid. It works, but takes at ALOT longr to kill the colony (at least 4 or 5 days, if not more) as compared to overnight or at most 2 days for the arsenic Terro.<br /><br />The Borax Terro says it may take up to 2 weeks to eiminate the colony! Anyone know if a Borax based product will work quicker than a Boric Acid based product? Better yet, anyone know where I can get a liquid ant bait that still contains arsenic as the active ingerdient?
