I get tiny ants in my pool, similar to size of fire ants. Will this net pick up these ants?

Probably, but this net is mainly for larger debris. You could go back with a skimmer net to get the smallest particles. Also, i would think these ants would end up in the skimmer trap.

Yes, this net will definitely get the ants out, without a doubt. I absolutely love the net. It's so strong.

If the ants are any larger than a very small gnat, the net will pick them up. Smaller than that, and some of them might pass through, but most of them would likely still be collected.

Could the ants in SD be bigger than the Texas ants? Kidding, it should work well wherever you are. I'd try washing them with soap and water and a cap full of bleach in case they got some food particles or dirt in them that is allowing the ants to bypass and climb directly in. Also make sure they are placed where ants can't jump in from a high surface.

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

You betcha. Most of my ant problems are black carpenter ants. The only thing about these baits that would limit their use is that they are liquid, so if you can't leave them in place, undisturbed, for the time it takes to work, say the only place you've seen the ants is a high traffic area, then they're not effective. Luckily for me (not so lucky for the ants) is that there's usually more than one trail on which they travel, and one of them is bound to be low traffic.

The Polaris will not suck up pool toys of a normal size.Something small enough for it to suck up,it will.

I have had it pick up animals as small as dove, but I cannot say if it would pickup much smaller.

My in ground pool is about 30 feet long and 12 feet wide. The Bot runs for two hours and picks up the dirt. I am in the desert so I don't get many leaves in the pool. My guess is the Bot would get the job done.

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.

this canister will contain bugs, insects, leaves, pine needles and such. but the only thing that it traps is what has been sucked up by your pool vac. so if the bugs are floating, this won't make a difference. either scoop them out when they are circling in the skimmer basket or use a fine net.

Yes, just make sure you put the pressure sprayer wand into the mound. Works on our fire ants but you need to get it to., the queen to eliminate the colony.

It does appear to work with spiders, crickets and cockroaches, but not sure about ants, although I'd have to think so.

Yes.. if it is not a HUGE one. Any things crawl works - like carpenter ants, bees... too

I did not have fire ants, so I cannot answer that directly. I can say it was "VERY" effective on a variety of ants; carpenter, little black, and sugar (lager black). Give it a try. That is the only way to find out for sure.

i use the feeder in my garage for a stray cat I can' t let into the house, and at first there were a few ants but i placed an ant button about a foot away from the feeder and the ants disappeared in a few days and never returned.

I don't know. It works by cutting their exoskeleton which ants have. So may depend on if you can get them to travel through it.

Yes, they will carry poison back to nest and the poison will draw out more.Also ants usually show up around water sources, that is really what they are after. I have had great luck wiping out the ants w/ this product.

I don't know if it works on fire ants or not. One tube took care of our house ant problem.
