You should clean out your yard of food they like to eat and use traps to catch the queen. You can even use boric acid. |

Boric acid is poison but I agree it is safer than most. Usually you use it in baits. That is certainly the best way to control ants. What do you do about termites food source. Your house is built from termite food. A little bit of Chlordane around the foundation will save the homeowners a tremendous amount of money in the future. |

Your house is built from termite food. A little bit of Chlordane around the foundation will save the homeowners a tremendous amount of money in the future. Termites don't come from around the foundation. They are blind and tunnel around. When they hit food (wood), they keep eating. What you need to do is bait traps (wood) around the house. You also need to inspect under the house on a regular basis and possibly bait traps under there as well. |

Boraxo or whatever that old soap is called works well along the sills of the house too... -- OH, I could do the 105 footer, but I would hate to waste the last few seconds of my life with my eyes closed, screaming like a little girl...  |
