Bug spray

[wormraper]

Hey for all you guys who live with the wonderful world of ants.

I live in Tucson out at the edge of city so ants can be a wonderful problem from May - Sept..... usually I spray Bayer Advanced Bug spray around the perimeter once a month...

this year I also decided I probably should try to kill off the ant hills as well as just perimeter spray and decided to go with
Spectracide fire ant mound killer.... so far seems to be worthless. thinking of going more exp and going with Amdro granules.... anyone have any good ant mound killers that they would recommend or is Amdro the best??? (just a bit more exp than spectracide or the bayer poison)


ALSO has anyone had exp with this spry

didn't know if it was one of those "you get what you pay for" type spray's or does it work as a good barrier spray around the home


LASTLY

since I have to do it so often. how is that "pro" grade stuff like Talstar P and Bifen IT concentrated formula??? I can get it for $20-$30 a pint and a pint makes 16 gallons of spray (vs. paying $10+tax for a gallon of the premade over the counter stuff like Raid, Bayer or Ortho at Home Depot)... if it's that effective for that price $2-$3 per gallon seems to be a better deal. just never dealt with that stuff before being that we bought our first house 2 years ago this coming august and never had to do this crap before.
