Billie,

I'm still waiting for your suggestion for something cheaper and more
environmentally friendly than TERRO.

Please show me where I recommended using Diazinon for these ants. Please
get your facts right Dunce.

Billy,

As I said TERRO has been the best stuff I can find. It is a boric acid
solution with a sweetener added. Cheaper than dirt. A year supply cost
me less than a buck.

What do you suggest as a better/cheaper/safer alternate?

Ok, I've tried using pulverized limestone, plus a number of other
suggestions, like pepper powder, and cinnamon. It really did little more
than make a mess of my kitchen, and the area right outside our house. The
ants are still all over the kitchen.

At this point, I would simply like to know what sort of granular
pesticide
I can buy to put on the soil near our house to make sure that any ants
nearby in the soil are killed, and stay killed. It looks like Diazinon
has
been withdrawn, and that would have been my first choice in the past.
Got boric acid?

You got the URL and I'm happy you don't have the diazinon that you would
have preferred.
