If you look over at the reviews and QA on Amazon and see how highly rated the traps are.
I have been using them both indoors and outdoors - and been very successful in my overall situation. Additionally- I sometimes do an exterior Home defense foundation perimeter type product as well for spiders. Hope this helps.
Have had luck with Terro, available in diy and other stores like Walmart, follow the on package directions. It even works well on a parade of them across the patio or deck. It will take a couple of days and then they are history.
Another way to divert them is Jiffy Corn muffin mix, raw from the package, sprinkle it around where they are entering the house (the outside) and they take that back to the colony. It will not kill the queens though.
Hi Lori - Those little buggers are relentless, aren't they?!? This is the most effective method and all-natural spray DIY that we use with ants. It's best indoors, but will also work outside with more frequent applications. It's even been featured on Hometalk! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.
I read this from : Itsmemic
Medicated powder from the Dollar Tree. It has eucalyptus in it...menthol...I puff it around my homes foundation..and inside under my birdcages in the cracks under moldings. Work immediately and they never come back. I do this at the first sign of ants..in one day..GONE. The powder is in a very large container and lasts quite awhile too !! And smells great !
I spray and that keeps them at bay, but I know they are still in there...eating away, populating and doing whatever little ants do because they occasionally come out ...

Diatomaceous earth sprinkled around will take care of them. It's still effective if it gets wet, just let it dry.
