The gel in the syringe - this is the theme. It makes them clean during the week, with a radical decrease in the number reached on the second day. I applied, but only in the home - six-legged villains every May want to make squatting.

conclusions

The main thing in dealing with ants in the area - a sequence (they come back and have to start all over from start), and integrity (on the site should be only one host) and an understanding of how to construct formic family. We do not recommend practicing methods that simply banish ants from their seats. It is important to destroy the queen, and then the end will come an ant colony. Just consider and consultant FORUMHOUSE, an agronomist with the nickname Sodmaster.

Sodmaster

ants Destruction makes sense if the queen is alive, which in a short time can give birth to himself a new entourage. The uterus itself does not feed - it fed the worker ants. But if in fact, than it is fed, pour poison to kill the queen, the worker ants run away or die, deprived of leadership and national idea. Gel and poison baits are working on this principle. Usual boric acid with sugar syrup does not kill immediately - ant time to bring the "treat" to Queen, which get drunk, dies in pain.
