That is a tacit endorsement. You didn't say, "Oh my god, that stuff is
poison." No, you used your best "Tea Party" speak to say it must be good
because the government outlawed it.
Don't waste you rhetorical slithering on me. You obviously have (or had)
no idea or concerns over the effect of biocides on the biosphere, Jerk.
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

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been withdrawn, and that would have been my first choice in the past.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.
