Although I use a quarterly pest service, I still find lots of ants in the spring and fall. I've tried this several times and it works pretty well for me. I can't claim that it gets rid of them all......but there is a noticeable difference. The premise is that they eat the oatmeal, they go back to the nest, it expands, and they die. This way there is no smell or chemicals around that can harm children or pets.
