I would view Terro as "spot killing" without excess. Unlike a spray (that has overspray), the ant comes to Terro and then brings back a minor residue that kills others in the nest. I think that is an environmentally sensitive method and the method of distribution through the traps mitigates the risk to pets somewhat.

Once, at my parents house, I had to keep a fresh trap in one place for about 4 months before the ants stopped coming....For all I know, I may have killed half the ants in southern indiana.

Ok it is WAR now. They were all over my honey bottle yesterday! I had to put the honey in the fridge (which is not good) so today I am in search of where they are coming from! But I now know they like sugar. I wish the cats would just go after them that would make things easier!

We had an ant problem year ago when we first moved into our house. It turned out it was built on an anthill. :eek:

LOL Snap! Reminds me of "Poltergeist!" Run away!
