I've read so many ways to eliminate ants. Is this for real? Can anyone
attest to it? I've tried borax (they say not to use it if it's on grass
because it will kill grass) and DE which isn't really stable when it
rains. I think my house was built on an ant hill because outside I have
so many of them and they get into everything. I haven't had an indoor
problem since having to treat for termites. They used Termidor injected
around the perimeter of the house, and drilled holes in the foundation
to inject there, too. I actually know I had termites because I found
them before an inspection. Found a worker who broke through drywall,
and then some mud tubes behind an exposed wall. I also had a problem
with swarmers in the downstairs bathroom in the first couple of years
after I bought my home.

Ants and termites seem to share ways of getting in the house.
