Combat kills ants dead: Part Duex.
Jun 3 2009
If you caught the previous post on the subject, you’ll recall the problem we were having with ants. Well, I found the source of their enterance into the house. It was a small little hole at where the foundation meets the house, right outside and under the kitchen window. Taking half the tube of Combat Ant Gel, I basically spackled the location, as well as set a nice thick line of the stuff around the area, and blocked it off with a couple of bricks, so no animals would be able to get to it.
Within 15 minutes it was a feeding frenzy at this trough of death. I’d estimate there were at least 500 ants were flocking to this stuff like fat people to a Cinnabon store. It was just a black, moving mass covering the bait. The next day, they were still at it, but most of the gel was already gone. So I re-applied the second half of the gel to the same area. I noticed that some ants were carrying the dead away from the house, and looked over to find a small field of ant corpses on the porch.
Within another day or two, we noticed there wasn’t a single ant in the kitchen, and nothing but a path of death and destruction across the patio between the hole and the lawn. So if you find yourself with ant troubles, definitely give this stuff a try. I’ve never seen ants decimated that quickly and thoroughly in my life.
So, for me, Combat Ant Gel get’s two thumbs and two big toes, up!!
(Also: yes, if you’re a regular or semi-regular visitor, I did change the site’s look again. Wanted to try a quasi-desktop appearance, and I think the work turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.)
