It has an ant problem. I don't much about ants but they are small brown ants. An inspector told us they were carpenter ants but another one stated they weren't. Both say they are harmless.

My mom tells me I should get a pro to get rid of the ants. My dad is telling me just to buy some stuff at Home Depot and spray the hell out of the house with some quality stuff.

Need some advice. ]]> Ant Pest Control Forum Dub D http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/ant-pest-control-forum/280035-can-i-handle-ant-problem-home-myself.html http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/ant-pest-control-forum/280009-how-do-i-make-ant-killer-spray-silica-gel.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:21:26 GMT i need to kill some ants in my backyard and i heard about this environmental friendly ant killers that are made out of silica gel and i want to know... i need to kill some ants in my backyard and i heard about this environmental friendly ant killers that are made out of silica gel and i want to know how to make one ]]> Ant Pest Control Forum Liz http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/ant-pest-control-forum/280009-how-do-i-make-ant-killer-spray-silica-gel.html http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/ant-pest-control-forum/279835-does-any-one-have-idea-how-get-rid-ants-rv-besides-chemical-sprays.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:02:33 GMT We have ants in our RV.

The attic is filled with insulation and can not get up there, and there would be no where to put ant bait. I have tried Terro, spent around 25 bucks, on outdoor Terro spray and 20 Terro ant baits, put them all over the house, been over 2 weeks, said it works in 3-7 days, there are no ants even near it. I put mixture of Terro liquid ant bait and honey and spread it where they're coming in through the light fixtures. Nothing yet. Any other ideas???

I have found that drilling several holes in the ceiling (the size of the can) and forcing a bug bomb can tightly into the hole seems successful and the problem disappears for a couple years.

They were back this summer and I didn't notice until now. I seldom see them in the house, but just found lots of sawdust in my closets. My question is, now that the weather is cooler and they seem less active, will the insecticide be effective if they are hibernating? Is it a waste of money and should I wait until Spring when they become more active?

The bombs seem very effective when I use them, just not sure if they work if they are hibernating.

Help!
Please note, the only access I have between the ceiling and the roof is the1-1/2 hole I have drilled for the bombs. I'm not sure if/how I could place bait in there without enlarging the hole. I really don't want to make the hole larger. This is a problem that has been on-going for many years and I suspect will continue because of our location on a saltwater bay (damp). So far the annual bombing has kept them away, but I missed the summer bombing this year.

Any suggestions for getting bait in there would also be welcomed!

Thanks for all the help :)! ]]> Ant Pest Control Forum linda l http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/ant-pest-control-forum/274070-carpenter-ant-control.html
