[QUOTE="Star*, post: 280777, member: 4964"] OMG 2 points for the rimshot on the 10 year comment to husband. My Mom had gotten infested with carpenter ants..... Nearly $5000.00 later and treeless back yard where once the MOST magnificent 6' round maple trees stood - is just a bald yard and it's awful. They told her they were in the house too - and she gets sprayed, but once she did that - she warned the neighbors. To which they all kinda did the "Uh huh - oh okay." thing and she said "Well I called my insurance agent and had all my trees taken down because they were dead inside from ants. Had any of those trees fallen on your house? My insurance would not have covered a nickles worth of the repair, you would have sued me and I'd be in the poor house. - Mom said within a week - one neighbor was cutting down all the infected trees - :winking:, but the other one is going to take his chances. We've been lucky with ants and anything else for almost 10 years....no joke. DF's friend owns a chemical company and gave him a bottle of stuff to MIX (key word here is MIX) up when we moved into our home. DF poured it into the sprayer straight - and sprayed the foundation of the house and inside before we moved in. It stunk like bug spray so badly we had to delay moving in for almost 4 days and left ALL the windows open. I think it must have worn off finally - but we still joke about - LET DF KILL YOUR BUGS.....and your grass, and your lungs.....lol [/QUOTE]
