I been fighting sweet ants, those little ones, in my kitchen for
years, trying spraying and Tat and Ortho and baits with no luck, this
year they are real, real bad getting everywhere as when they lay their
scent they all seem to come back forever. I mean my cubbords, re
sealed cereal boxes, my table, chair counters, me in my chair ect.
Yesterday I got Grants baits and Combat baits and put them both out at
maybe 5pm, I had both brands next to each other and noticed at 6pm a
feeding frenzy on the Combat bait, I checked both boxes for active
ingrediant and both are the same so I guess they like the attractant
in Combat better, and they were still feeding at 11pm which is rare as
I always remembered at night they hibernated. Well today for the first
time in years NO ANTS. A relief. You guys know me, and I dont work or
sell for Combat, this stuff worked and im real suprised and happpy.
Now I have to do the Mice somehow. Now I can take my cereal out of the
deep freeze!

We had that problem (they even got *inside* the molasses bottles) the first
couple of years we were in this house (new construction). I spread ant
killer, outside, twice a year for two years, then once a year. No problems.
