For inside the house I have had success with ants with the ultra sonic
devices. In my kitchen I had used just about everything on the market,
sprays, traps, baits (including peanut butter or other sweets mixed with
boric acid), but they (the ants) would always come back within a few weeks.

The brand I use is made by Sunbeam, Model SB125, Ultrasonic Pest Repeller. I
got 6 in a package at Costco for about $25. I put 2 in my kitchen because
that was where there were more ants.

By the way, in Florida, they have discontinued use of diazinon because they
have found it in the ground water. There are some good replacement products
that have a shorter active period. I used diazinon for years (alternating
with malathion and other sprays/pellets) and it works great. In Florida, it
probably takes surface water less time to reach deep well depth (100 -
300').

I have the worst infestation of ants, inside and out, that you could ever
imagine. I've bee using Terro Liquid Ant Baits, which the ants LOVE but I
keep putting out more and more baits, which just get eaten up, with very
little noticeable change in the ant population.
I have ants all over in every square inch of my yard, plus I think they
have
made nests in the walls or something because we get them everywhere,
including upstairs.
I am talking about the little black ants that like to eat sweet stuff.
Any suggestions would be truly helpful.
