HiWe have a bad ant problem they're under the house and come inside when it rains and we can't get great access to under the house.
Has anyone had success with a pest control company for any problems?
I'm being quoted $190 for them to simply spray inside but not keen on this given I have a crawling baby in the area and pets..
Anyone used a company for ant issues and did it work? Oh and yes any rid isn't working...

We had a pest guy come who inserted special ant gel inside all the areas they could get in the house...weep holes, around taps, near window sills and door frames, and they would eat it and take it back to the nest. It was really effective. I don't know the name of the company as I rent, but Im sure you could ring around and ask different companies what they suggest?

We did - when we bought our house it was infested, they were in the walls and the roof. The place was swarming with ants! We had termite & ant treatment, which ended up costing us $1500. The ants are pretty much gone, although I have to be careful - they still have food scouts roaming and if I leave packets open or don't spot a spill they are back.The pest control guy said that it would take a couple of goes to get rid of them, and I would see ants clustering when they got confused. I just kept wiping them up, had no food they could get to, and they gave me a can of insecticide with a long thin nozzle to squeeze into cracks, as they were behind built in furniture and skirting boards.
Good luck!

an accidental benefit of getting chickens has been every ant seems to have disappeared within a couple of months - we'd repeatedly tried to get rid of them previously too (inside and out)

we have an ant problem too, especially if it's going to rain...??I find when they are bad, I use talcum powder, as they don't like walking over it, so i put it where they are coming inside (which is usually straight under our front door!!!)
