I'd really appreciate it if someone could read the message I've
posted, and give me some specific advice.

Thanks.

I treat around the outside of the house as well as inside and try to
close openings where possible. It only takes a trace of grease or
sweets to attract ants. Last year, I was putting a mix of boric acid
and peanut butter outside and the ants loved it. Hopefully they took to
nest to kill queen.

Don't know where you are at but Diazinone worked well but damn EPA now
prohibits it.

I try to spray completely around the house perimeter every year. My neighbor
gave me a bucket of dichotomous earth, and I sprinkled that around
also. I still had ants late in the year, and I see 1-2 a week now in the house.
I was also spraying up the brick wall where they were going in late summer.
I should spray some Chlordane I have, cause I can only keep it
in a container, since nobody will take it.
