We have dogs so I imagine it would be best to use something besides the ant baits I purchased here (sweet and protein). Is there a spray I can use on the ant hills? Something the ants would take back to their nest? Thank you!
There is one non-repellent product that you could use on trails and mounds outdoors called Arilon Insecticide. This is essentially a sprayable bait that can be used a perimeter treatment around the house and on individual mounds. If you have Fire Ants, then we would recommend using a faster kill product such as Bifen IT or Temprid SC to drench existing mounds. You can view tips about to perform this treatment in our Fire Ant Treatment Guide. The products are all pet safe once dry.
