I have a tracking # for mine already! so... it should be here by Weds. It's coming from somewhere on the E. coast- NJ maybe? I forget the name of the online store - but it was a little cheaper and had cheaper shipping than another online store - so it paid to "shop around".

Thanks to everyone here, I have been wondering how to deal with the major ant problem that we are having here. Every year without fail, we get ants towards the begining of Spring and they just don't go away. I am so nervous about using sprays and powders, but with the words of wisdom from here, I feel better. My local hardware store carries the Sevin Powder and I can pick it up. Again, thanks everyone.

Yep Shirley...I thought the very same thing...Ants already in March!!
We also go through this every single Spring. I am gonna get online today and order some camicide and see how it works.

Luckily, I do not have an ant problem. I know someone that uses this bird safe product. Last I heard it worked well.

I've heard that is a great way to get rid of pest.

here is a couple other things that will work with ants: 1 1.9oz tin of Alum to 2oz of powdered cinnamon. mix this together well, spinkle across window ledges and door frames. the alum dries out the little bugger and cinnamon fries their breathing holes. you need to redo the application when it rains. WORKS GREAT!!!

Camacide is bird safe but can be toxic to reptiles and fish..so if you have either be careful with using it.
