Are there any commercial ant products that actually work, or should we just get an Orkin guy?

Vacuum up all the disgusting crumbs in your pantry and they’ll go away

for ants, i've used the Max Force gel

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BS ... UTF8&psc=1

and the Advion

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TX ... UTF8&psc=1

both were used outdoors and knocked out the colony by like 90%

they came back

but it was outdoors, so a little ambitious to think it could take them down forever

they were living under my pavers and then coming up between the cracks (eventually i just sealed the pavers... they are probably living it up underneath now)

there were shitloads of them though, and it really did level them for a while

if you are doing indoors, will prob finish the job

some people suggest using both bc some ants respond to one more over the other

I'll have you know I keep an immaculate house, but at the end of the day it's a rowhome.

Honestly one of the most vile slanders I've ever been subject to.

Cool, I'll try them both. We did Raid traps (totally ignored) and Terro baits (feasting on them for a week now but to no effect). I think they're coming from both out back and the house next door so I'm a little limited in where I can place bait but hopefully this helps.

We're getting a dog late this year/early next year, and will be getting quotes for fencing.

Does anyone know the difference in cost/durability of pine vs. cedar? Does one last longer than the other?

I know lumber prices are pretty high right now, but we don't require much fencing as our neighbors on either side of us have fences, so we'll just be adding gates essentially. Still, I'd like to get a good deal.
