Default Fire Ants

Walk into my closet this morning and grab some clothes, shirt and shorts on but start burning like crazy. Either someone has put caustic soda in my clothes overnight or I got fire ants on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bastids covered me from head to toe and were hongry! Guess the rain ran them into the house but it's not only my house, several in our hood have had the same problem since the rain. Better check your closets out for them bastids with all the rain lately.

Spiders will cause me to hurt myself getting it off. Snakes will cause me to hurt people around me getting away from it. Ants will cause me to embarrass myself cause my close is coming off. I can't stand those little creatures.

Bifen. Most pest control groups carry it. I swear by the stuff! Ya wanna see a bunch of dead ants fast?...This stuff is better than gasoline and DEQ won't be up your arse for putting it out.

put out some raw plain grits in your house so you dont have to worry about chemical sprays...they eat the grits woth a lil moisture they swell from the inside and kills them, their exoskeleton cant swell enough..my old aunt used to do this not to have to use chemicals..

I was having a problem with pest at my house, even after having a certain company come out and spray quarterly. A man my wife works with told her about some stuff called Demon. He sprays it twice a year around his house and in his house. I ordered the concentrate online and sprayed just outside of my house, using the recommended amount per gallon of water. It has been about 3 months now and I have not seen or had any spiders, ants, silverfish or roaches in my house.

Most of your feed stores carry it, comes in a pack with I think 4 small packs of powder in it and it works. I spray inside and outside and you will not have any bugs in your house, if y'all need somethin to kill ants outside most feed stores have a poison that's in a can and smells like sulphur or rooted eggs and it works great.
