    I tried 3-4 different bait stations inside and none worked. This stuff is amazing! I just rebaited the ones outside this morning and the ants were right back on them.

    I just ordered a 6 pack of
    $23 Terro 1806 Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits, 1.0 fl. oz. - 6 count
    bait stations to try out. With the heat we are getting them every day. Our pantry an hour ago. Traced it to a jar of honey and banana ketchup. I have been using Ortho Home Defence and it stops them fast but I need something they will bring back to the nest.

    I highly recommend DoMyOwn.com

    I spray my perimeter every quarter, pro products:
    Stryker - Knockdown
    Tekko Pro - Insect Growth Regulator
    and alternate between these two
    D-Fense SC (Suspend SC)
    Bifen IT (Talstar)

    Yard spray
    Cyonara (Demand CS)

    Cockroach Gel Bait
    Ant Bait Gel
    Ant & Cockroach Granular Bait
    Bait Station

    Absolutely worth the money

    edit:
    those perimeter sprays are safe indoors for crack/crevic spray too (baseboard and cabinet)

    I recently started using Tenacity herbicide, has great reviews:

    So apparently old 2008 smoke detectors are obsolete or whatnot. Had a couple beeping setting dog off. Im not wasting time troubleshooting since i already replaced the battery backup. And it barely lasted a month. New ones have to be rewired to new harness, since its different of course...

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!

    I think this will work. You might have to wire this b4 the outlet that your dehumidifier is plugged into to.

    Can anyone recommend a paint sprayer? I'm painting my house in/out. I obviously won't pay bobody to do it. I'm looking into this one. Any input.
    Thanks.

    I used this one. Painted 80% of the interior of the house with it and it works very well. Coverage was good and didn't get spits when not using the extension wand. I got the small extension wand (12" I think) and the large extension (24" I think) and got spits with those. More so with the longer wand. Prep work takes longer if you're worried about overspray but there are masking stuff that can help you to speed it up, such as one of these or one of these. You'll need a respirator if you're working indoors and i'd do a full suit as you'll get paint everywhere, especially in your hair.
