Bifen IT, bought a small bottle for $20-$40 3-4 years ago, pet safe indoors, kills and protects. 1 oz per gal outside, 1/2 oz inside. Doesn't kill immediately, but 2-3 days you'll find tons of bugs dead in cornerst

A thin line of borax up against the baseboards works for me. And the ants were bad before I put this down.
Be careful with borax around cats/dogs.

Seems like I didnt buy the house to live but instead just do pest control.
Called housekeeping.
Used to be done by housewives, but then they got another idea "shopping", so now it's done by maids if at all.
But here's the thing, even all the roaches, ants, and bed bugs never kill humans normally, so nothing that humans haven't been living with for eons in the medieval days. So if one doesn't care about living with nature, no need to kill nature or keep a place clean.
Rats though would be time to worry...they even eat babies...

Yep... You can even mix borax and honey and lay it out....

But you know, they make $$$ products like this because some people are too dumb to take safety precautions mixing, even not washing their hands well after, and wind up poisoning themselves trying to do it cheap $.

It's not rocket science, but the basics, gloves at a minimum, if not masks + gloves + eye protection every time you're mixing pesticides and such. Then a thorough wipe down of the work surface and washing of hands after.

With stronger pesticides like the ones noted, you'll want a n95 mask (3m has ones that have a carbon layer to help minimize odors - ie trap the organic pesticide vapors) and mix outdoors.

You're not doing it for a job, so the very limited time you're exposed behind a n95 will be sufficient to keep you from fainting, etc.
(You'll know - vapors are strong)

Definitely latex/vinyl gloves always when mixing chemicals. The concentrates are strong enough to cause skin damage quick.

And definitely n95 (preferably with carbon layer) when spraying heavily mixed concentrates.
(You'll know it's strong when you're feeling dizzy and such after spraying around the house without enough protection not to go without masks again.)
Long sleeves, pants because the off-spray will float into you.

but people said both sugar and honey have to be diluted to water so borax can stick to it. can it kill tiny ants? just honey and regular sugar wont do a thing if they are not well mixed with borax, since the ants can just eat them instead of borax.

Think adding sugar in cold coffee.
Sits at the bottom.

So you either need to stir like crazy long...
(Easy if you've got a paint mixer on a drill)

Or be smart, dissolve the sugar / borax in a bit of hot water, then mix into the honey.

Oh, AND YOU MUST CLEARLY MARK "DO NOT EAT! POISON!" on any bottle or container of pesticide you've mixed that isn't in a reused bottle of pesticide.

Nothing like accidentally thinking the borax honey is good for baking...

..

As for what ants eat it, depends on what they're after - usually water or food. Ants usually aren't the type to go into a house (far from their nest underground) unless there's a really good reason (not enough water in the lawns, no food, they smell something really good indoors like borax honey).

Putting the borax near the perimeter of the house is smarter than towards the center. No need for the ants to get that far in. Just in, under the garage door or by the outer doors, grab the bait, then go home to die.

If they're already all over the inside of the home, whole nother problem. That's when you'll need to consider spreading inside to quick kill and push the remaining ones out.... At the cost of being lightheaded for a few days due to the vapors of bug spray...

They're both bifenthrin, one is already diluted to 0.5%. Ortho also has zeta-cy at 0.0125%. If a person does not have a pump sprayer already this is not a horrible deal.

Personally, I use both bifen and permithrin from concentrates.

Quote from JimBanville :
This stuff must work. I haven't had an exterminator for many years, but I do spray this in room corners and at the bottom/side gaps in doors and windows. I will occasionally see a bug in my home and it will always be dead.

Get roach gel for roaches. It doesn't kill them but makes them infertile. I saw the occasional roach when I first moved in. I haven't seen one in years since using the gel.
Insect growth regulators can often be mixed in the same tank as an insecticide so a person gets the benefit of both. Tekko Pro IGR Insect Growth Regulator as an example.

I just came here to say the bug guy salesman came to my door and after kindly and respectfully hearing his rebuttals to my rebuttals and me laying down all the reasons I wouldn't and couldn't afford to subscribe to his once-in-a-lifetime deal of $400/year, he walked away. Within a week, I had to kill about 5 spiders indoors, battled a month-long ant problems, and now have wasps buzzin around. I told him that I've been able to manage with an $8 bottle of this stuff so far too. It does work as long as it's not rinsed off by sprinklers or rain. Really, I powerwash the house under the eaves, and spray this stuff in the corners and sometimes get to see the bugs drop down dead.

I live in a duplex that I rent & a couple years ago I was bombarded with spiders. I found out the pest control service went out of business & the rental office didn't bother to find another. I used this product & it seemed to work well. Last year we (I'm friends with my elderly neighbor) were hit bad with fire ants. They attacked my neighbor & they got me a couple weeks later. I bought more Home Defense & it didn't seem like it worked as well. I just bought a new jug & it's almost like spraying water. I spray the ants & they keep walking. I saturated the entire slab of concrete outside my door & they just keep showing up. They spread out completely covering the slab & they trail one side of the walkway. I spray & spray this stuff & it doesn't matter to them! The rental office sent a professional pest control guy out & whatever he did, they're gone for now. I'd like to pick up a jug of something that actually works to have on hand but I'm not sure what to try next. I have an almost full jug of Home Defense that is probably going to sit in the garage forever unless I find someone to give it to or find a safe way to dispose of it. This used to be a great product that seemed to work quite well but I won't buy it again or recommend it to anyone. I also have to keep in mind that I always have my dog with me when I'm in the garage so I have to make sure she's safe. A couple months I'd put some thin lines of roach powder along the sides of both garages where the wall & concrete meet. A couple weeks later my dog was chasing after a roach & wound up licking that very area! It could've been a very tragic thing had she done it sooner. Lesson learned on that one. I live in the desert so you never know what's going to stop by for a visit.

Quote from Studly :
Yup, I spray Taurus SC around the perimeter of my home once each spring, and have been ant free in my home for years, since I started it. Works way better than anything you can buy at the stores, and since it is highly concentrated, one jug will last you years. It's what pros use.
I have Taurus SC now and Bifen before this. I think Bifen is more effective and I will be getting Bifen hereafter.
