ants every where

hey everyone i need a lil help, i live in south texas and around here during the winter it get really hot and then it gets kinda cold. when it starts getting hot the fire ants come out and eat the hell out of every thing and get in my dogs kennel and bite the dogs. i was wondering to all that live in texas or places that fire ants or any other kind of ant comes out during the winter, spring, summer, and fall. so i guess all year ant control, lol. so help me out with the ants, so my dogs are happier all year long.

 

try a local pest control supply store. they sell spray pesticides that are pet friendly (they won't hurt your dog) that can get rid of the ants. several products on the market that you can get from say Wal-Mart can be very toxic to your dog. give me a day or two & i'll find the stuff i use. here in Louisiana we have the fire ant problem as well.

 

coo thanks for ya help miakoda

 

If you want you can sprinkle, sevens dust all around your dogs so the ants won't come near them. They won't cross that stuff and if they do, they'll die.

 

Best to use a "bait type" of product. Something with the active ingredient hydramethylnon or fenoxycarb seem to be the most effective. Good luck

 

well i have used seven dust before but it gets blown or washed away by the weather, so im not going to used that any more

 

WE USE AMDRO, IT IS AT WALMART, AND YOU PUT LITTLE PILES RIGHT BY THE NEST, THEY BRING IT DOWN, AND IT KILLS THEM ALL. INCLUDING THE QUEEN


oops just noticed the caps were on......darn kids typin again...lol

 

we have problems with this at times as well... we've always had great luck with the seven dust...

we even have a nest of ants in the front yard that have a trail indented across the grass..lol
