    I bomb my house on a regular basis. I pull a sheet of Visqueen (plastic) over the tank, then a flat bed sheet. Both come off gently with none of the pesticide getting into the tank.

    I have been using a company callde Structure for 2 years. They preovide an organic solution that works well. The guys garauntees I could dip my baby or my do in his solution it is so safe. He also sells me Bombs, that I set off for up too 5000 square feet. All I do is buy painters disposable drops(plastic sheet). I make sure they are long enough to touch the floor, and sinch them around the bottoms. The bombs are mainly for infestations. A standard treatment fro the exterminator should take care of the ants.

    what kind of ants? If it is fire ants, just use the baits and gently sprinkle your yard with water after you do so. If it's pharoah ants (sugar ants) you have to bait or every time they get sprayed their colony will split in two.

    for fire ants truegreen will come and treat your yard once/year for $100. probly the best money i spend on my house period! if you ever find a single ant or mound they will come back and treat it for free. ive used it for 3 years now and couldnt imagine not doing it.

    i mow in sandals and constantly walk in my yard barefoot and never worry about ants

    I used to work for Terminix in sales. I can say from working for a few pest control compaines that they do not shortcut, are legal, insured, and come back for free if you have a contract during any point in the year, or if they did not kill everything the first go round. They have a seasonal contract which they will treat for the seasonal pests. Good company to work for too.
