How to ignore/prevent the black ants invade my home? It seems they come from my patio door. Should I buy sth. from Home depot or any natural thing to kick them out? Coz I have dog at home and worry about the chemicals can harm to my dog

Contact any professional pest control company for advice, a good one would be
Poulin's on Kingsway at Duchess. There are many DIY kits for all kind of pests

So expensive to have pest control.  Dude.. u guys always give the most expensive answer.

Go to Home Depot.  Ask them for the spray for anti-ant.  But you have to keep spraying every few days.
Or buy the Ant food.  They eat it, and will bring more ant to eat the food.. Then the entire colony will die in few days. ALL LAY TALL FUK.

I suggested to consult professional pest control company for advices, then do it yourself.
For example: a bottle of RAID is cheap, but anyone who have real problem with cockroaches know it is not that simple.
Black Ants would cause serious damage to the house so better get a good solution to fix the problem permanently.

Do you really expect a professional will give you a free advice and let you go home and do it yourself? LOL..

They will paint a scary picture and make you believe you won't be abel to do it yourself and you have to hire them..... and they won't tell you the solution. The ONLY solution is to hire them.

a professional is called a profession for apparent reason.
sometimes cost might not really be a factor if the professional did a superb job.

but then.. it's better to hire someone you or your friends already know. The price might be cheaper.

Everyone can just purchase all the building materials to build their own house too, without
even knowing the basics of architecture and construction.
Just take the Tylenol whenever they get a flu, forget the doctor, they may kill you

Don’t you know there are pre-made structures (like dog house) and non-prescription drugs? Should I visit emergency room whenever I hit the conner of my table?

Don’t make your stupidity more obvious.

Your comparison is baseless, man.
Try better next time.

PS. It's nothing personal.

As long as I get the point across, it is enough. Replace with a better example if you don't like mine.

You are new here. Latter you will know why I always enjoy "picking" on him.

作者: rainbow-davie 時間: 2010-1-20 01:16

如果藍山成屋螞蟻, 咁佢都唔會坐係度問啦.
佢可以上網問, 等我地慢慢答, 就應該問題唔係太大.

你地知唔知 Pestcontrol 一個鐘幾$呀? 成舊水.

我之前都有D Black Ant problem,  quote 過價, 去問過人, 度度問. 唔係隨口up.
去 Home Depot la. 試過Spray 同餌.  我最後用Spray.  唔係因為勁D, 而係唔會趕盡殺絕, 咁陰公. 成窩死晒.  After you spray it, the ant will also avoid to step there.

People can always buy those diy kits to do it themselves; but for best result, I think it is always good to contact the professional. Of course unless that person already has the knowledge and skill as a professional does. If you know nothing about black-ants, it would not hurt to hire the professional for the first time and you can ask him for advice and watch how he does it.

So you have difficulty to communicate what you want to say? 哈, it is one obvious characteristic of 電車男. You might want to seek for a professional help.

If there are only a few ants found, I don't think many people will call up a professional. For many people, calling a professional is not affordable to them.

We always have ant (black or red, sometimes both) problem at the beginning of spring every year in our house. We just bought kit and spray from Home Depot or Canadian Tire and do it ourselves. After 1-2 weeks, the ants will disappear and we have to wait till next spring to see them again.

Well, just give you a chance to entertain me before I get back to what I am working on.

Or you can try some simply remedy:
Soak some dried chili peppers in strong vinegar, put the solution in spray bottle,
spray on the trail where the ants travel, repeat for a few days.
It would not cause major problem to your flour or pets.

Just curious, why do you say so and what are you afraid of? I don't think anyone can force you to reply to anyone if you don't want to.

此地無銀，越掩飾越明了. Thank you for keep giving us entertainments.

actually someone is asking for help; no need to fight in this thread; fight in like discussion thread instead;

back to topics,

of course I would suggest to try those diy ideas suggested by loyaukees and see if it works first. Professional usually costs too much; if it is getting too serious, contact a professional then.
