Thanks for the tip on Home Defense. We tried a similar spray but it didn't make any difference. Do you know if the Home Defense bait works?
One of our dogs likes to lay in an area infested with LFA and so far has no bites to the eyes (or anywhere else that we can tell). Maybe the Revolution we give him has something to do with it? Curious if you give your dog anything like Revolution, Frontline, Advantage, etc?
Although I've never tried it on LFA, ants *hate* DEET. I lived in a rental that had ants (though a non-biting benign variety) and I sprayed a perimeter of Deep Woods OFF around it and the ants completely disappeared. I could actually see them walking up to the area where I had sprayed it and then doing an immediate 180. Another time we were chopping wood and one of the logs was infested with carpenter ants. There were millions of them. We sprayed DEET on our shoes and they stopped crawling up our legs. We were standing in a sea of large black ants and they wouldn't come near us. Or course that wouldn't work here because the rain would just rinse it away.
