I'm old fashioned and just stick with a gallon jug of insecticide. We have so many ants here, we've got to spray the whole house once a month. Plus we can't leave food out. Everything has to be sealed. Fortunately, these techniques manage to keep them at bay.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378428503220197256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-26434527877986878172015-04-10T18:03:18.243-05:002015-04-10T18:03:18.243-05:00What gets rid of mosquitoes?
