Hey, if it works for y'all... :-)

I use a lot of windex for counter cleaning. I get maybe one ant
invasion every couple of years or so. I just "clean them up" and follow
the trail back to the source, and plant some Amdro.

Amdro works fast to wipe out troublesome ant mounds.
We have fire ants here. I need to protect my pets.
