YOU MAY HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO KILL YOUR INDOOR ANTS!

A few years ago, I had a TERRIBLE flea infestation in my 3-floor, 300 square foot condo. I was simply at a loss as how to get rid of the problem. I had tried MANY home remedies and finally consulted a gardening expert at my local Lowes Home and Garden store. He had the BEST advice yet - and it worked!
He said that the first step needed was to treat the outside lawn for a flea killer insecticide, wait a few days, then use any of my home remedies and I'd be in much better shape - since I was first attacking the SOURCE of the fleas. Well, the same thing works with ants.
I purchased a powdered (pet safe) lawn flea/tick/ant pesticide that I spread with a hand spreader (cost was about $12 for a Scott's hand spreaer)with the proper insecticide. Then, one day I used a home remedy like the ones for ants and THE FLEAS...FLEW! Never to return. So, as a hint, kill the SOURCE of the ants first (your lawn); then attempts a home remedy. You're sure to have much better results!
