The Joy of living in Centurion

Two words blue death ;)

I would recommend using it outdoors around the base of your house. I would refrain from using it in doors that stuff really works well.

I have a huge problem with ants as well, unluckily I have to use it in my T room on the skirting's. My spiders seem to be doing ok

but my greatest fear in life is opening the lid of a container and have one running out and jumping onto the floor and running into the affected areas

I hate it but it keeps my spiders and my roaches safe :)

As said earlier - blue death around the outside of the house. Also put out Anttraps, those little green plastic things with the poison inside. Put the traps around the infested area. For the first 2 days it will look like ant armageddon around the traps, after which they start carrying the poison into the nest.

I did that at my house (also in Centurion :laugh: ) and 5 months later the ants haven't returned.

Ant traps are a winner, as well as special chalk that you get for ants (Not sure what its called).
You just draw a line around your skirting's and it keeps them away.
I had almost my entire roach colony destroyed a few weeks ago and went crazy with this chalk drawing imaginary lines around my room and the window frames. No ants have returned so far.
The only worry that I have is the same as creator. I often have spiders running around (Especially when mating pokies outside of the enclosure), so I sit ready with a container to stop any spiders from running into the chalk lines.
