A question for those who have used the tango gel bait- how long did it take before you noticed a reduction in ants? I know they say three months but I imagine there should be a noticeable reduction sooner than that. Also, the ant lab recommends applying every 4-6 weeks. Would more frequent application be more effective? I applied some of the tango gel bait near some ants in our lanai to see if they were baited to it, and they definitely were at least for several hours. I looked today and they don't seem interested in it anymore. Hopefully that was long enough to feed the queens their first dose of birth control. The instructions from the ant lab did leave some questions unanswered that I emailed them, for example, how long after application do we need to pray that it doesn't rain.
