Anybody noticing an ant invasion this year? I've got mounds in the lawn for the first time, and we've been battling sugar ants in the house. I sprayed around the foundation with permethrin/sticker a bit ago, I imagine that'll slow things down quite a bit. Also nuked a few mounds in the lawn. Just one of those years I suppose.

Yes, I have been thinking the same thing! Mounds like crazy all over the lawn, been here 4 years and haven’t seen them like this before. Have avoided them inside so far.

I get carpenter ants on my white spruce, but only the ones I bought from Itasca. Never seen them on native white spruce. I have to walk them every weekend and spray for them or they'll suck the tree dry.

Problem solved. Not a single ant last night or today. I guess I'll just need to stay on top of spraying

You suppose I can use tempo on my spruce trees for ants? I'm blowing through a can or more of Cutter every weekend spraying trees.

I used borax mixed with honey to stop the ant invasion on a hummingbird feeder. They ate it all and I haven’t seen an ant since.

Bastards are back, just nuked them again with permethrin. The indoor Terro traps don't seem to have much for results.
