Ants!

I use Tempo dust. It gets the ants and other pests too.

Tempo dust is my favorite, but for most folks, the liquid is more practical and available which is why I suggested it.

We've had good luck with lawn granules applied in a 10ft or so swath around the house. Just make sure to get one that kills ticks too.

Tempo for the win. Terro only targets ants.
Tempo kills everything including spiders. It's safe to use in schools, restaurants, etc according to the label if applied correctly.
It sets up a barrier with a two week or longer residual effect even if it gets rained on. I spray around windows and doors, front porch, back porch, garage door and any cracks or crevices outdoors.
We lost two oak trees with several damaged from the black carpenter ants. Tried Amdro and a couple other big box store pesticides with no success.
30 minutes with tempo sprayed on the trunks of trees and a band of ground around them eliminated them completely.
I get mine at the local COOP. You can get it in small doses that do only a gallon. A gallon will go a long way around a home. You won't have any bugs period.

I use tempo as you mentioned and terro inside for the few ants that make it through

What’s funny is, that is just the way it flowed when I poured it! I’m surprised it made it this long with no mention

I was at the ACE hardware store today. Saw the Tempo in the size to make one gallon on sale at the checkout counter in Ponca, so if anyone wants to use this pesticide, check at an ACE Hardware store if you don't have a COOP.

Going to try the Terro for the ants. Have used Amdro stakes with good results until this year. Now the ants ignore the Amdro. For inside always use Tempo SC Ultra. good stuff.

I put out some of the Terro bait stations yesterday. They are getting after it.
