    Pick up/ clean all clutter away, then sweep up any dust/dirt. Then, spray Ortho Home Defense. It is safe for any pets, as long as the pets aren’t insects/ bugs. Keep area clean to keep the bugs away...

      I’d make sure it the Home Defense for inside, just in case they make two versions.


      Terro makes many ant bait traps that work very well. Once again, make sure you’re using the inside version and then find their trails outside & put them on their trails next to the house (outside version).


      I didn’t buy the Terro brand the first time and wasted my money.

    Hi Ursula. The Terro ant traps work great! I use the Terro liquid ant bait. I have used others and they didn't work so well. Just keep them away from pets, and children. I even use them on my deck. You can also wipe the areas where you see them down with vinegar to get rid of there scent trails. Good Luck!

    I just use Ortho Home Defense and spray the perimeter of the house. May have to do it every few months.
