Help!! Ants Around Top Of Agp - Can't Get Rid Of Them!

I know borax is relatively safe, but you mentioned you had a dog, and I wonder if the sugary solution would also draw him to eat the borax? I might call the terro company (or google them) and see what they suggest regarding pets. Ours worked so quickly indoors though, it just might be worth keeping the dog away from the area for a couple of days.

From the terro.com website:

"Pets occasionally find the Terro and eat it. Our advice when this happens
is to do nothing at all. The product is not toxic enough to cause a problem
and the pet will be just fine."

Diatomaous Earth a.k.a DE
kills bugs dead.
And it is safe to use all around the home.
If you get food grade DE you can sprinkle it in your pet food to help kill their intestinal parasite (worms). Do not feed them filter grade DE.
You can also sprinkle the food grade on your garden, however, it doesn't know the difference between the good bugs and the bad. Also great sprinkled around the foundation of your home/garage and pool.


Make sure you know what grade of DE you are buying.
One is food grade.
One is filter grade.
Don't mix them up.
They are both safe and amazing products when used for their intended purposes.

Try a health food store, and not hard to find on the net.

Pool filter grade diatomaceous earth has been heat and chemically treated and will poison an animal or human who ingests it, so it is always of utmost importance to only obtain food grade diatomaceous earth to use in and around your household.
