Hi, It is timely that this came up again. Two nights ago my daughter and two grand daughters stopped by at about 7PM. It was warn and a pretty nice evening. As they came to the from door they were greeted by a large number of large red ants crossing the porch area. As in 100s. Yikes. So out comes the spray and bait. I fixed those suckers...at least I thought so. It seems they wanted to get away from my efforts and a bunch came into the house. I stomped them and I hope the bait etc works. (it can take a day or so) Since it was 27 degrees this AM and we had of all things snow (about 1.5 inches) there were no ants to be seen. Yes really snow in Southern Arizona. Even Tucson had a number of inches depending on where it was measured. I don't suppose it is humane to use a flame thrower on them. I wonder if the home owners insurance would cover it if it went bad? At least they weren't any like in the movie "Them" if you can recall it. BTW that movie is a real hoot.
