Where would I be able to find boric acid baits?

Question

I have a severe ant problem. Usually it's worse after it rains. Hundreds of them get in my bath tub and in the sinks. They
are in the living room and kitchen too. How can I kill them outside and inside as well? And where can I buy the products?

Answer 1

You can find boric acid at the following website. I believe that delivery is free.

Without knowing what kind of ants they are, it's difficult to tell you which product will work best. There are many types of ants, all with different appitites. Boric acid is definitely a far better choice than sprays as the ants generally eat this and take it back to their nest thus killing more ants.
Here are a couple usefull websites;

Additionally, I think that Terro (brand name) liquid bait works very well. You can find that at most hardware stores. It comes in a small bottle.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

I got my boric acid at the hardware store in lawn and garden in the pest control area. All you need is the powder and sprinkle it in areas that they come in at. I'm sure there are other ant control baits that might work just as well or better.

Answer 3

You can get boric acid at Wal mart in the laundry isle

Answer 4

you might want to try borax soap powder (twenty mule team).my sister was a termite inspector in California and recommended mixing it with water and spaying out side around the footings and eves on a monthly basis. try not to make the solution to strong because it can damage vegetation. I tried and it worked great, no ants, water bugs or spiders.
