We have recently attended the Ant Lab's little seminar.
I then went down to the Co-Op where they're selling Tango in pint bottles for $50 ea, and picked up 2 pints.
2 tablespoons of Tango are used in each batch.
There are 32 tablespoons in a pint.
Therefore, a pint should make 16 batches.
The 2 pints should give well over 2 years of monthly applications.
At that rate, Tango is not all that expensive.
I keep the Andro bait stations around the house in the areas where the ants have been seen, and spray the Tango mix around the outside of the house and the lot every 4 weeks.
After two applications The LFAs are seen far and few between.
Although, I did pick up a few bites today working around the yard, not as many as normal, though.
In another 2-1/2weeks, I'll make the third application of tango.
I can see some improvement already.
I expect more improvement with more applications.
The monthly spraying of Tango will become a ritual, just to keep the little buggers at bay.
We've also begun to spray[EDIT]another insecticide aimed at centipedes[EDIT] in a few areas around the outside of the house to keep the centipedes out.
We keep finding 2" to 3" dead ones around the house, and a 4"er in the garage.
It does prove that the house is not a healthy place for them.
But, I do not want to find even dead ones in the house.
It also seems to be working.
It'll be nice if we can get the house completely and totally bug free.
It'll be even sweeter if I can work all day out in the yard and not get bit even once.
Dream on.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
