| 1411905 | 2015-11-26 00:49:00 | It does work, or it has for me. I have mixed a little raro powder with neverong one time which seemed to encourage them a bit. Thing is it takes some time to work but the good ones don't require all the ants to be collecting, the ant is supposed to go back to the nest and dies there (or takes some of the bait back) and then if the queen eats some of the dead ant or the bait and dies, no more eggs. Of course the more ants affected the greater the chance of killing the queen. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1411906 | 2015-11-26 01:30:00 | I've been trying to kill mine for 4 years. Loads come and eat, then next thing they';re back. They live in the kitchen wall, either I pull the sink out and inner wall or pull the fibrolite off the outside to get at them. I bought all sorts of products. Flyspray works to keep them from their trails, I sealed everything I could and spray round the ant roads every week and that works to keep the kitchen from being infested but the nest remains.....sigh. |

| 1411909 | 2015-11-26 03:39:00 | Wouldnt you need to kill all the local nests , not just the one you know about ? The ant killer gel/liquid seems to work for me , untill another colony moves in 12 months later . |

| 1411912 | 2015-11-26 18:06:00 | Yeah, I've had a huge nest residing under a concrete pad (former garage converted to bedroom) for many years. Initially Neverong worked well, then they became wary of it. Tried Raid products, ant sand - they just ignored those. Currently the thing that has worked well has been one of those big spray kits from the supermarket. Has the very lethal but also very naughty stuff that is a major threat to bees (I think). Anyway, I just spray this wherever a trail appears (outside use only), and periodically check for a new trial to have begun, and repeat the process. It seems to work well, and has knocked their numbers heavily, but does not achieve elimination. They really hate this stuff and will stay away for weeks after a single spraying. |
