Ants are the most frequently encountered insects in and around the average home. They feed on a wide range of foods from those found in homes to the sugary excretions from plant bugs.
There are many species of ants which are pests of homes. Because they have differing food preferences, their identification is important to determine the best control method, particularly when baiting is used. The information below can be used as a guide to help you choose the right products for some of the most commonly encountered pest species of ants.
BLACK HOUSE ANT - The black house and a few related species, are shining black and 2-3mm long. They can nest in roof or wall spaces. The group includes species which track across ceilings, beams and joists and drop ant debris onto surfaces below. Black house ants eat sweet foods. As a result these ants are often encountered in kitchen cupboards, bench tops, window sills, etc.

The service was excellent, and the product is effective. One day after I put together my 36cm diameter mini waterlily "pond", I put 5 drops in. The next day there were dead bodies floating. It appears mosquitos move in amazingly fast. This stuff is easy to use, and it works.
I normally use Temprid 75 every quarter with no problems. I moved into a new house 3 months ago and sprayed my property on two occasions inside and outside with this product delta pro. Not happy with the product at all. Will go back to temprid75
