Help! Asian Needle Ant Invasion (self.ants)

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

It's gotten everyone in our family and recently just got my daught 4 times yesterday. They are extremely painful and you feel waves of pain for hours. And just ONE OF THEM is capable of doing that. These bastards need to die, and I'm hoping you can help or point me in the direction of a community that can.

Any ideas?

I love Spinosad for all things ant killing due to its safety around mammals and birds. I’m generally killing fire ants and I drench the mound with it, so if you can find the source, you might try that. I’ve also had some luck with a cotton ball soaked in borax and sugar placed in their path as a poisoned bait, but that’s more problematic if you have small children or animals around that might eat it. Good luck!

I'll be looking to get some. Thanks for the recommendation!
