Ants get through the plastic soffit under my roof. Can this or another product be sprayed in it to deter them? Some from trees & some from the ground

If it is ants and the area is dry dusting diatomaceous earth (not the swimming pool type) with a powder duster would kill on contact and would be less expensive

Jennifer, No doubt this active will work. But you'd be spending your money better with a formulation designed to be sprayed. You see, the foam packaged in a can to allow for easy treatment of voids like a wall space or cinder block. Now if you have access points to inject the foam under the plastic soffit, that would be a great place to use it. But on the surface where you see them moving? Not so much. Basically treatments won't last nearly as long compared to injecting under the plastic or into a void and again, a spray will go a lot further for surface applications so you'd be better served using a concentrate.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray Jennifer, No doubt this active will work.

I doubt in Jen, works very well and safely on fire ants. You can try PLANT SKYDD it got rid of our rabbit invasion. Good Luck.

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.

We had carpenter ants. I tried every thing and nothing worked. I then purchased Maxforce ant bait. The ants are gone. Just stick the up on the wall or floor and let it work. You do not have to put them in direct line of an ant trail. I put my in the area of where I saw the ants. It did take about two weeks before they were all gone.

I am sure ants would be able to get inside this unit. i would not use it outside.

Jennifer, Probably not. First, Timbor is not that good for "controlling" an existing problem. Especially when targeting carpenter ants. Second, its designed to protect wood and this is done by coating the surface of cellulose before it gets a problem - not after the problem exists. So if you have an active infestation, you'll be best served to use something like Drione Dust. This product works great and will penetrate the nest through and through when puffed into entrance/exit holes. Alternatively you can use Carpenter Ant Gel or something like Phantom Aerosol as well.

The product was designed to work best for subterranean termite control. Try Beneficial Nematodes for ants. Spray right on the moving ant trial. Bye Ants!!!!

No. This product is meant to be used outdoors. Fire Ants do not normally move inside. Ants found in homes are usually much less hurtful than fire ants. They can be controlled by the product offered in big box stores in tiny bottles. Pest control in tiny brown bottles. They are really very inexpensive.

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

Works with swarming carpenter ants. Fire ants usually found outside and there are many products to eradicate those.

I had ants marching from behind a kitchen cabinet. They were heading in two different directions. I located where they were coming out from behind the cabinet. I ran a bead of Terro so they could not come out without walking thru it. The ants walked thru it, and about 2 hours later they were all over the wall. The next day they were all gone. Have not seen another one in over 43 months.

Only wood destroying ants in wall void. You need to read label on application of product. We use it for wall voids and it works very well.

Yes, this product will work to kill carpenter ants. For best results, locate and treat nests and surrounding areas. Apply around doors and windows and other places where ants enter premises and where they crawl and hide. Spray into infested wood through existing openings.

Also Terro ant killer worked for me to get rid of ants. Some other ways have been boiling hot water and other methods like hot aluminum, but who really has access to that? Good luck to you I think you'll get rid of them.

If you have an old ant trap, just squirt a little in there, or a plastic tube of some sort. I usually just squirt a little around on the ground, where I see the ant trail which is up by my house. I find that this product is pretty safe around kids and animals. I have cats, dogs and grandchildren who are outside all the time. This ant bait is like gold, very little can,go along way. You'll see the ants swarming to the bait, but leave them alone. You want them to be able to take it back to their nest to kill them. Within a day or two they will be dead and gone.

I have never had any problems with ants getting into this. It seals well enough to keep the odor in - so I have to believe it definitely can keep ants out. Hope this is helpful.
