"We seem to have an ant problem in our neighborhood, and this did the trick. I was able to spot treat the ant hills in my driveway, sidewalks and yard without fear of it harming my puppy. I treated about three times in the early summer - each time noticing large amounts of dead ants around the pile..."

"totally did nothing. I had to go out and get the purple cans of raid $8.95 ec once car per room and it wiped them out in 12 hours, most right on contact but in 12 hours they stopped jumping, repeat in 7 days to kill any eggs that may have mad it, but DR Earth is to weak and a waist of time and money..."
