Summer Pest Control Tips {Giveaway Closed}

Everyone loves the summer, watching butterflies flutter around, catching lightening bugs in the dark, hearing the crickets chirping at night. What we don’t love however are home invasions, by any little critters including ants.

You remember the fact that we had a very mild winter this year? Well, it was nice not having massive amounts of snow or ice, but that now means that insect activity is occurring two to four weeks earlier this year. This means there is an even greater chance that homes and landscapes will be infested this summer by problem pests, such as Argentine ants and carpenter ants.

What’s a family to do though?? My first thought? Check out AMDRO® Ant Block® Home Perimeter Ant Bait, it terminates a wide range of ant species around the perimeter of your home keeping them outside, where they belong.

{Find them at Facebook and Twitter}

I don’t mind ants as much as other insects but I feel like as soon as there is one ant in your home, you turn around and there are colonies! {I know very little about insects themselves and am not a professional, just my humble observations.}

• AMDRO® Ant Block® Home Perimeter Ant Bait is highly attractive to 15 different ant species, {did you even know there were that many?} killing 50 percent more species of ants than Spectracide® Ant Shield® Home Barrier Granules.* *Compared to EPA labels published as of May 9, 2012.
• Following application, AMDRO® Ant Block® Home Perimeter Ant Bait works within two to four weeks, killing the queen and the ants in the colony.
