Coming in thru crack in baseboard. Also interested in outside perimeter/ foundation product. How does it kill the ant, ie, on contact or ingested or body and take to queen? Can I buy it locally?
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is a great product and it will work to control most types of ants. It should be applied around baseboards, door frames, window frames and places where utilities (cables, pipes and wires) enter through the wall as these are the most likely places for the ants to enter/exit. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that has a delayed reaction which allows ants time to get back to the colony and spread the product. In essence, the ants will not be able to tell that the product is in place and they will pick it up on the fine hairs all over their body and inadvertently carry it back to the colony where it will knock out the entire colony. Taurus SC Termiticide would be a great choice when spraying for ants around the perimeter of your home. It is a non-repellent insecticide as well. It also has a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect which allows the ants time to get back to the colony and spread it around before they succumb to the effects of the product. These are professional grade products and we are not aware of where you would be able to purchase them locally.
