My daughter has two small dogs and two cats, I hate cats. Anyhow she let me know she has ant problems. They are afraid to use anything that might hurt their pets. I have heard of a product called Terro. The ants take it back to the nest and it's suppose to, over two weeks kill off the nest. I have also heard eucalyptus oil will do the same thing. Any body try either of these methods or have any other ideas.
