I just HATE ants!!! I have also given up on the ecological friendly ant killers, they don't work for me. Even in my garden...I use the amdro..I just don't plant on that spot...heck can't plant anywhere close with the ant anyway cause I'll get attacked......and they hurt, I also know that some folks react very badly to the ant bites...can be life threatening. I poison as soon as I see a hill starting now.
