Need exterminator for ants

We used a company and I completely forgot the name of them. I'll have to ask DH as they are his client. But have you tried using terro traps? You can get them at target and they are wonderful. We have ant problems every year usually at the start of spring. This year the problem came later in the summer. They are always everywhere. Kitchen, living room, on the walls, in the kids' room. Ugh, it's gross. The exterminator worked but in the past we've used terro traps that worked wonderfully. This year we didn't use the exterminator simply because we didn't have an extra $400+ to shell out. But as soon as I put the terro traps down, they all swarmed to them and within 2 days I didn't see another ant. Good luck!!!

I also agree with Terro-- if you haven't tried them, I would do so. they are the only thing that has ever worked for us. Gone within like a day or so.

We get ants once a year and Terro is the only thing that gets rid of them immediately

We used Fox Pest Control when Terro traps didn't work for us and they were good. We had a colony (hundreds in them!) of flying ants living in our walls and they were gone within a week after they came.

If they are those tiny little ants, use borax mixed with jelly and within 3 days, they will be gone. Most web sites say sugar water but I used grape jelly and it worked.

Google Borax Ant Killer recipes and you will find tons of sites.
