Terminix

I have been a Terminex customer for about 6 – 7 years primarily for ant control. we have always has the small black «sugar» ants. When we bought the house the previous customers were Terminex customers so we continued with the service. progressively year over year the ants kept getting worse… when talking with the guys at Terminex they kept telling us two things
1– Keep the house cleaner
2– Ants are coming to drink your water not eat the food
To that I say 2 things…
1– Our entire kitchen was encased in zip-​lock bags. We had become an insane family constantly considering ants and what they can get in to. You could eat off the floor in our house.
2– Water? really? Whenever we saw an ant they had either found the stray piece of food on the floor or they had chewed into a zip-​lock and were feasting on the contents. Never did I see swarm of ants feasting on a glass of water
To be honest, my wife and i were very seriously considering moving out of our house after the ants persisted through last winter! WTF?! Ants in the winter?! We were certain that we lived on top of an ant farm.
We increased by 2x-​3x the amount of visits by Terminex but still the ants were crazy. I spent hours searching online about ant infestations and what to do about them but i was able to find nothing. Then I saw something about Terro ant killer and I figured what the heck, I’ve got nothing to lose. I bought the outdoor and indoor liquid ant bates. Once again it was a total and complete feeding frenzy on the Terro liquid. The way this stuff works is that the ants eat it and head back to the colony feed it to the other ants. It takes 2 days +/​-​before it essentially shuts down their digestive system and viola! Dead ants! (my favorite kind of ant!) I tell you straight up ALL of the ants are dead. Not some of the ants, not most of the ants… ALL of the ants are DEAD! We can now live like normal human beings and leave a pie on the counter, let the cats have food in a bowl that is not surrounded by a moat of soapy water, etc etc.
— Terminex per year = $ 350 — Still having lots of ants
— Terro 3 year supply = $ 22.73 — Zero ants!
How does Terminex not use this stuff? How am I, a regular home owner, able to kill more pests than the pros? I’m baffled by Terminex and their inability to kill my ants. My astonishment is completely overshadowed by my total joy of killing all of the ants with Terro. I will sing the praises of this stuff to anyone that will listen… all the while saving cash.
Hey Terminex, its on amazon. Shhhhh
