As anyone in San Diego County (and probably the whole Southwest) knows, we live on a giant ant hill. We are constantly battling ants in our houses and in our gardens. For the most part, ants can be ignored when they are outdoors, but when they come in the house or they infest the vegetable garden, sometimes they just have to be killed. There was a big ant hill in our garden and we had to get rid of them. We are trying to avoid using poisons in the garden since we want to eat the food and we don't want the friendly animals, such as lizards, frogs, birds and our dog, to eat either the poison or poisoned animals, but ants are really hard to get rid of!
We are trying
Amdro Fire Ant Bait. The ants take the bait to their home and all the ants, including the queen, eat the poison. The dead ants pretty much stay underground, so hopefully it won't affect the lizards, frogs and birds. We've done two applications. It seems to work at first, but then we see more after a few days. Hopefully this second application will do the trick.
