I use it in my house like in my bedroom and the bathroom. We get these big water roaches or whatever they call them. They are big cockroaches as far as I'm concerned. They are the size of your thumb and fast! This is the only thing I have come to find that will kill them. Just spray in a premier around the room with a small handheld spray bottle. I use warm water and the product will turn into a milky color but will dry clear.

I have not used it inside yet but it says its safe for indoors. I would only use it though at the base of your walls. I would not use it on countertops or anywhere food would be used.

Safe after it dries, spray in kitchen, bathroom, etc, anywhere that pipes enter your home. Spray around the pipe under sink's. Also spray window sills, &outside; doors ways. Hope this helps. It's a great product with a 5 year shelf life.

It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering. As for the kitchen I suppose just as long as your not spraying all your pots and pans and utensils with it. Use a small handheld spray bottle in the house. And make sure the area is well ventilated and fluffy is secured in another room so he isn't licking it up. Once it drys you wi be fine. But remember I said this stuff doesn't kill on contact. It works by attacking the bug/insect nervous system and respatory system and killing it over time. It does work but you have to give it a day to three days to see its effects. And prolong of this and you will reap the benefits. It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering.

I have used it successfully with those really small "sugar" and "ghost" ants that come in the house. It also worked on the larger ants going up the wall of my home toward the roof. I really bought too much--I still have quite a bit left and have only had to retreat 2-3 times since I bought it at least several years ago.

I don't have any pets, so I've never had to deal with that situation, but just to be safe, you should place the Advion out of any pet's reach. It doesn't need to be placed in open, lower-availability locations. I usually put mine just above the kitchen sink and in the kitchen cabinets, which is where I generally see the ants. A portion the size of a pea is all you need. Two or three applications, once a day, over a two to three day period has always worked for me. Results are generally noticeable very quickly.

Ants can crawl through very, very small crevices and there is no way this box would keep an ant out if it wanted in. You would have to have some kind of seal on these to ensure ants didn't get in. Having said that - I've never known an ant to go after salt. That's a new one. My experience has been that salt is pretty safe when it comes to pests and this is tight enough to keep anything bigger than an ant out anyway.

It is not poison in the traps. It's borax, which happens to be poisonous to ants. Borax can be used to wash clothes and dishes in your house. I sprinkle powdered borax around my house to keep insects away. You can google and see if borax is poisonous to raccoons.

Good idea. It is safe to do that. Just try to place it in the path of some ants so they can find it and lay a scent trail back to the colony so the others can ingest and spread it as well.

I've never used it for ants, but I have a neighbor who did and she said it worked great.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

Just had an exterminator out at the house and he told me this can be useful if the ants are craving something sweet. If they are looking for water, then no. I guess that answers your question.

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.

This product is for outdoor use only. If ants are present indoors, we recommend using our TERRO T300-2 2-Pack Liquid Ant BaitsOnce the ants have been eliminated indoors, this product can be used outdoors to kill other ants before they find their way in.

I used a Q-tip in my kitchen, making sure no poison got on the counter.But just make sure you pull out the stove and spray the wall and the floor. Under the refrigerator and under all cabinets,and if you have a dishwasher get pray under it and bathroom cabinets . Spray the opening around your entrance door and if possible around the windows. You may want to mix it a little strong. And you will be amazed how many dead bugs you will start finding.

Normally you don't get Fire Ants indoors, this product is to be used around Fire Ant mounds out doors. If you are having trouble with Sugar ants in the Kitchen best product for that is a liquid that can be obtained at Lows or Wal-mart, couple busks a bottle.

I'm not sure about that. I haven't had much problem with ants, though. Wish I could give you more information.

You only use this product for ants when they are underground. Try googling killing sugur ants, that may help

I'm no expert on ants by no means but I would imagine if your ant are just garden variety ants, you could try. I don't see how it could harm

Greg, the best insecticide for ants is Termidor. No question, hands down number one. Baits tend to take a while so I nail them with Termidor. They cannot detect it period. However, do not spray Termidor inside. Good luck
